Iran launched missile and drone strikes against facilities in Bahrain, Kuwait, and Jordan on June 3-4, killing one person and injuring 63 others at Kuwait’s international airport. Saudi Arabia responded on June 6 with a formal condemnation from its Foreign Ministry, calling the attacks “brutal aggression” and a direct threat to both regional and international security.
Qatar, Egypt, the UAE, and Jordan lined up alongside Riyadh to denounce the Iranian strikes. The Saudi Foreign Minister issued a joint condemnation with his Jordanian counterpart.
What happened on the ground
The Iranian strikes targeted US-linked facilities across three countries over a roughly 24-hour window. Kuwait bore the worst of it. Its international airport took direct hits that left 63 people injured and one dead.
Bahrain managed to intercept several incoming projectiles before they reached their targets.
