US strikes expand toward Tehran as Iran fires missiles, drones at regional allies
DUBAI: Bahrain and Kuwait faced incoming Iranian fire early Friday as US airstrikes expanded to target more bridges in the Islamic Republic.
Both countries, which host US forces, have faced repeated rounds of fire in recent days as an interim deal to try to end the Iran war has collapsed over fighting sparked by activity in the Strait of Hormuz.
In Iran, the state-run IRNA news agency reported Friday that at least three people had been killed in US airstrikes targeting bridges in southern Hormozgan province.
On Thursday, the United States intensified its strikes against Iran on, hitting targets farther north and firing into a ship the US accused of trying to break its naval blockade on the Islamic Republic. Iran retaliated by launching missiles and drones at US allies in the region.
