Escalation: Iran attacks U.S. bases in Kuwait and UAE
Iran said it struck U.S. military bases in Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates, casting the salvo as revenge for a deadly wedding attack it blames on Washington.
Kuwait’s military reported intercepting a missile and drone attack over its territory the same day, creating a gap between Iran’s claim of hits and what got through its air defenses.
U.S. Vice President JD Vance said the wedding strike is under investigation and voiced skepticism toward Iranian state media accounts. The result is a claimed Iranian strike on U.S. facilities in two Gulf states met by Kuwaiti intercepts and a public U.S. review of the incident Iran cites as its cause.
