Iran retaliates against Bahrain and Kuwait after US strikes near Strait of Hormuz

Tehran has launched retaliatory strikes against Bahrain and Kuwait following a second day of US bombing along the Iranian coast.

The United States targeted Qeshm Island, Sirik, and Bandar-e Lengeh after a drone struck a commercial ship near the Strait of Hormuz.

Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned that the Strait remains under total Iranian control for the next 30 days.

He stated that any further US attacks will only worsen the already precarious regional situation.

These escalating actions threaten to disrupt global shipping routes and increase tensions in the Persian Gulf.

The public faces potential fuel shortages and rising costs as the conflict threatens the vital energy corridor.

Government officials urge calm while military leaders prepare for potential broader engagement in the coming days.
