Bahrain’s government says Iran fired ballistic missiles and drones towards it and Kuwait. The foreign ministry said they had been intercepted and called on Iran to immediately cease attacks on its Gulf neighbors. The statement came hours after the U.S. military said it shot down Iranian ballistic missiles and drones launched toward the Strait of Hormuz and Gulf Arab allies on Friday, and struck some of the Islamic Republic’s coastal surveillance radar sites in response. The exchange of fire further frayed a shaky ceasefire with Tehran as the Trump administration ramps up pressure on Iran to make a deal to end the conflict.
Hostilities between the U.S. and Iran have escalated, with Iran retaliating against U.S. air and cruise missile strikes. The exchange intensified Thursday, as air defenses fired in Kuwait and Bahrain after U.S. President Donald Trump warned Tehran would "pay the price" for stalled negotiations. The U.S. launched a second round of airstrikes overnight, targeting Iranian military sites. Talks have stalled partly due to Israel's attacks on Hezbollah in Lebanon. The U.S. Central Command said its latest strikes targeted Iranian military capabilities. Explosions were reported in Tehran and Bandar Abbas.
