Iran launched missiles and drones at Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, and Qatar early Sunday, escalating tensions with the U.S. following recent American strikes. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed responsibility, stating they destroyed command and control centers, drone hangars, and radar sites in Jordan and Kuwait, and attacked aircraft support platforms in Oman and a jet maintenance center in Qatar.
A Jordanian military source reported that three missiles fired from Iran landed in the kingdom without causing casualties, resulting only in minor material losses. Kuwait's armed forces announced they intercepted hostile aerial targets within their airspace. Qatar's government stated that three people, including a child, were injured by falling shrapnel from an attack on the country.
Three missiles fired from Iranian territory fell at dawn in several locations across the kingdom, without causing any casualties. The damage is limited to minor material losses.
The United Arab Emirates initially reported detecting missile threats but later clarified that detected threats were outside the country's borders. These attacks mark the first strikes on Qatar, a key mediator, since April. The ongoing clashes between the U.S. and Iran have eroded a ceasefire agreement, with U.S. President Donald Trump declaring its end due to persistent fighting.
Iran's top negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, posted on X, "The era of one-sided deals is OVER. We told you: keep your word or pay the price. Reality is knocking." The U.S. had previously attacked Iran in response to an Iranian strike on a vessel in the Strait of Hormuz, which caused a fire and forced the crew to abandon ship. The strait remains a critical issue in negotiations, as it is a vital route for global oil flow.
The era of one-sided deals is OVER. We told you: keep your word or pay the price. Reality is knocking.
