- Iran struck U.S. military installations in Kuwait, targeting an airbase and the Fifth Fleet headquarters.
- Media failed to provide a key detail about the Iranian strike, according to CounterPunch.
- Israel and Lebanon agreed to renew a ceasefire while the Iranian attack on Kuwait airport unfolded.
- IRGC attacked the U.S. Fifth Fleet headquarters and an airbase, as reported by local media and Reuters.
