Iranian forces said on September 2 that they launched attacks on US military targets in the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Bahrain and other countries in the region, vowing "severe" consequences for renewed American attacks on the Islamic republic.
Iran said it hit US military bases in Kuwait and the UAE on Thursday, vowing to avenge a wedding attack it blamed on Washington, as US Vice President JD Vance said the strike was being investigated.
The new clashes, which began with US raids on Sunday, have deepened the impasse in the six-month war, as Iran maintains a stranglehold on the strategic Strait of Hormuz and Washington presses its counter-blockade of Iranian ports.
Kuwait's army said Thursday it intercepted a missile and drone attack from Iran, with the Iranian army reporting that it hit US assets at the Ahmad al-Jaber Air Base "with missiles and drones".
Kuwait called the strikes a "grave breach of the rules of international law".
