- Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced it launched aerospace missiles against “enemy bases in the region”, as reported by Tasnim news agency.
- U.S. military confirmed Iran fired seven missiles toward Kuwait and Bahrain, but all missiles missed their intended targets.
- U.S. military also reported intercepting and shooting down Iranian drones heading toward the Strait of Hormuz.
Why it matters: Kuwait and Bahrain evade missile strikes, preserving civilian safety, while the U.S. demonstrates its defensive capability by shooting down drones, limiting Iran’s ability to project power in the Gulf.
