Iran Launches Missiles at Kuwait and Bahrain

Original version ·

So Iran decided the best response to getting hit by the US was to throw drones at its neighbors instead.

After US forces struck targets inside Iran following another attack on a commercial tanker, Tehran’s IRGC responded in classic fashion: by shooting drones and missiles at Kuwait and Bahrain.

Kuwait’s air defense intercepted the incoming swarm, reporting no major damage. Meanwhile, Bahrain — home to the US 5th Fleet — got predictably furious about being treated as a regional shooting gallery once again.

The IRGC proudly took credit, claiming they targeted American bases and warning that any ceasefire violations by Donald Trump’s administration would blow up whatever fragile peace processes were left.

Targeting neutral neighbors who host your enemy's bases is certainly one way to enforce a ceasefire.
