Iran has released footage documenting a series of missile and drone attacks targeting U.S. military installations in Bahrain and Kuwait. The strikes are part of the ongoing 2026 Iran–U.S. conflict, which has seen escalating military exchanges between the two nations. These actions follow U.S. airstrikes on Iranian soil that resulted in casualties and infrastructure damage.
