Iran renews attacks on Gulf states after seventh straight night of US strikes

Iran launched renewed attacks on US Gulf allies on Saturday after a seventh straight night of US strikes targeting Iranian military sites including logistics infrastructure, ‌escalating the war one week after a fragile ceasefire agreement fell apart.

Kuwait came under sustained attack, with a desalination plant hit and operations at Kuwait International Airport suspended due to repeated missile and drone threats.

Iran's IRGC said they struck a US military support center at Camp Arifjan and destroyed a radar facility at Ali Al Salem Air Base in ​Kuwait.

Iranian state media reported that the IRGC targeted a site in Bahrain where US combat aircraft were gathered at Sheikh Isa Air ​Base and an intelligence data center.

US strikes Iran for seventh straight night

The US military's Central Command earlier said it concluded its seventh consecutive day of strikes by hitting Iranian surveillance sites, military logistics infrastructure, ⁠underground weapons storage and maritime capabilities.

Iranian media reported strikes early on Saturday in Hormozgan Province on the Strait of Hormuz. State TV said three people were killed and eight wounded while two bridges and a road tunnel ⁠were damaged.

Civilian infrastructure was increasingly being subjected to attack despite concerns about potential war crimes.

Iranian media reported that several ‌missiles struck ⁠power facilities and desalination pumps in the southern city of Jask on Saturday, citing a local official. Some 10,000 people in 20 villages were without water, Tasnim news agency reported.

A power generation and water desalination plant in Kuwait was hit in an Iranian attack, the country's Electricity, Water and Renewable Energy Ministry said in a statement. It was the second attack on Kuwaiti water desalination sites in two days.

On Friday, both sides took aim at shipping traffic, with the US saying it was enforcing a naval blockade while Iran said it targeted vessels that violated its rules on navigating the Strait of Hormuz, the vital waterway for one-fifth of the world's oil supply.
