Iran launches ballistic missiles at Bahrain, Kuwait after US hits its radar sites

Iran launches ballistic missiles at Bahrain, Kuwait after US hits its radar sites

Iran launched a salvo of missiles at US allies Bahrain and Kuwait on Saturday after fresh American strikes, drawing a furious response from the Gulf monarchies and further straining a fragile truce. Weeks of indirect talks marked by tit-for-tat threats and sporadic exchanges of fire have failed to secure a deal to end the Middle East war or reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a chokepoint for Gulf oil and gas shipments. Iran’s foreign ministry said the US early Saturday attacked surveillance facilities on Qeshm Island and near Sirik that it said were used to protect borders and “ensure the security of navigation in international waters.” Tehran called the attack a violation of the fragile ceasefire. US Central Command (CENTCOM) said its forces first shot down four Iranian attack drones launched toward the strait. It then struck the Iranian coastal surveillance radar sites, CENTCOM said. Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said early Saturday they had responded by targeting “enemy bases in the area” with missiles.  The Revolutionary Guard said it targeted the Ali Al Salem air base, which …

Courtesy: U.S. Navy U.S. Central Command on Monday said Iran fired two ballistic missiles overnight targeting American forces stationed in Kuwait, the latest in a series of attacks that further undermine a threadbare ceasefire. The missiles fired Sunday night at 11 p.m. ET were successfully intercepted and no U.S. personnel were harmed, CENTCOM said in an X post. “U.S. Central Command remains vigilant and will continue to protect our forces from Iranian aggression while supporting the ongoing ceasefire,” the post said. Kuwait’s Foreign Ministry in a statement condemned the attacks, calling them a “dangerous escalation” and asserting the country’s right to take necessary measures to hold Iran “fully responsible for these heinous aggressions.” The missile attacks came after CENTCOM conducted “self-defense strikes on Iranian radar and command and control sites for drones” over the weekend in response to prior Iranian aggression, including “the shootdown of …

Iran reportedly launches missiles, Trump mulls war deal

US President Donald Trump speaks during an announcement with Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, DC on May 21, 2026. Kent Nishimura | AFP | Getty Images Iran’s armed forces fired missiles at unidentified targets late Thursday local time, the state media outlet Fars reported. The latest military action in southern Iran came hours after the Pentagon said that Iran had launched a ballistic missile toward Kuwait and deployed attack drones in and around the strait. Earlier Thursday, a White House official confirmed an Axios report that the U.S. and Iran have “mostly agreed” to the terms of an agreement to temporarily end the three-month-old war. But President Donald Trump has yet to give final approval to the 60-day memorandum of understanding, which would extend an ongoing ceasefire and start nuclear negotiations, that official said. Axios reported that American officials said Iran has signed off on that deal, but noted that Tehran has not confirmed that. Major stock indexes rose Thursday, following the reported …

Zelenskyy pleads with Trump for Patriots to fight Russian bombardment – POLITICO

U.S.-made PAC-3 interceptor missiles used in the American Patriot system are currently the country’s best defense against Russian ballistic missiles, although it hopes to develop its own ballistic missile defenses. The second Trump administration has dragged its feet on providing Kyiv with Patriot missiles, leaving Kyiv in a bind as its supplies dwindle. The U.S.-Israeli war in Iran has further threatened Ukraine’s supply, as the two countries and other U.S. allies in the region burn through hundreds of PAC-3 interceptors. In Monday’s letter, the Ukrainian leader acknowledged the “high demand” for Patriot missiles in other regions, and accedes to the longtime Trump position that Europe must “take on a greater role” in its own security. He praised U.S. weapons systems and jets in glowing terms and expressed gratitude for their delivery to Ukraine. Over the weekend, more than 90 missiles were launched at Ukraine, and on Monday, the Kremlin warned foreign diplomats that it would continue bombing Kyiv. Russian ballistic missiles are Putin’s “last major advantage on the battlefield,” Zelenskyy wrote. “They can be intercepted. …
