Iran conducted fresh attacks against U.S. allies in the Persian Gulf on Tuesday, striking a desalination plant in Kuwait and disrupting operations at its international airport due to missile and drone threats. Kuwait's national oil company reported that one of its oil facilities sustained damage in the assaults, resulting in minor injuries.
Kuwaiti armed forces announced they intercepted Iranian ballistic missiles and drones earlier in the day. The attacks led to injuries among firefighters and oil sector workers. Meanwhile, Iran's Revolutionary Guard asserted responsibility for an earlier strike on a U.S. air base in Bahrain, framing it as retaliation for U.S. bombing campaigns.
Adding to the regional tension, Saudi Arabia's early warning system alerted residents in Al-Kharj and Yanbu to seek shelter, citing an Iranian attack. This warning, the first in over three months, targeted areas housing U.S. troops and a significant oil export terminal. However, Iranian state media did not confirm an attack on Saudi Arabia, and the country's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, issued a stern warning to the U.S., stating they would face "unforgettable lessons" if attacks on Iran continued.
