Iran targets US assets as Houthis threaten to expand Mideast war
Iran said it targeted U.S. radar and air defense installations in Bahrain and Kuwait on July 21, warning of stronger attacks as Yemen’s Houthi rebels threatened to block Saudi shipping through the Red Sea.
The United States carried out its 10th consecutive night of strikes against Iran hours earlier, targeting military command centers, maritime capabilities, missile and drone launch sites and air defense systems.
U.S. Central Command said the attacks were intended to reduce Iran’s ability to target commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said they struck two air defense systems and a radar installation at U.S. sites in Bahrain, as well as missile defense, radar and satellite reception systems in Kuwait.
