The statement followed a recent escalation involving the United States and Iran. After a pause in attacks since July, the United States attacked Iran’s Larak island on Sunday. Iran responded the next day with strikes against US military targets in Jordan. Kuwait, Bahrain and Jordan then reported Iranian air attacks during the night before Wednesday.
