Iran has continued to show that it can strike U.S.-used bases in the Gulf, targeting air bases in the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait despite threats of further attacks from the U.S. president.
The strikes came after six months of war and the introduction of a new sanctions regime. The Trump administration has described the sanctions as an “economic D-Day,” highlighting the pressure it intends to place on Tehran.
