Iran attacks Bahrain, Kuwait as US strikes near Hormuz

 


Iran war day 121: Iran attacks Bahrain, Kuwait as US strikes near Hormuz

US strikes Iran for a second day near Strait of Hormuz as Bahrain sounds sirens and Kuwait activates air defences.

The United States has bombed Iran for a second straight day, striking Sirik, Bandar-e Lengeh and Qeshm Island after a drone attack on a commercial vessel near the Strait of Hormuz.

Air raid sirens sounded in Bahrain, while Kuwait said its air defences were responding to “hostile missile and drone threats”, raising heightened tensions across the region.

Meanwhile, Israel carried out new attacks on southern Lebanon, killing at least one person, just a day after reaching a framework agreement with the Lebanese government aimed at ending the fighting.

Here is what has happened as the conflict enters its 121st day:

In Iran

  • Iran sees Strait of Hormuz as key leverage: Tehran-based political analyst Abas Aslani said Iran views the waterway as a deterrent against future US attacks. “Iran sees [the strait] as leverage to stop the repetition of any new round of aggression against the country,” he told Al Jazeera, adding that any attempt to change the situation there “by force” is “unacceptable for Tehran”.
  • IRGC says it hit US forces in the Gulf: Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it launched ballistic missiles and drones at the US Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait and the US Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain in response to US strikes on five coastal locations in Iran.

The Gulf

  • Bahrain sounds sirens, Kuwait activates air defences: Bahrain urged people to head to the nearest safe place after sirens sounded, while Kuwait said it was responding to “hostile missile and drone threats”. A US official told the Reuters news agency there have been no reported US casualties or major damage so far.
  • Oman joins Gulf states in condemning attack on Bahrain: Oman has condemned the Iranian drone attack on Bahrain, expressing full solidarity with the kingdom and rejecting any actions that threaten regional security. Qatar, Kuwait and the UAE also condemned the attack.

    Nikki Haley:

    Iran will never follow through on any MOU.
    Iran will never agree to a deal.
    Iran will never give up its nuclear ambitions.
    Iran will never voluntarily give up control of the Strait.
    Iran will never stop supporting terrorists proxies.
    Iran will never be a normal country under this regime.

    Eastern Bullylanders Mock Net Zero Carbon Policy of Stooopid Westerners….

    Chinese people are trolling Europeans by posting videos on social media showing that even their pigs have air conditioning, while many Europeans can’t because of government rules.

    The Reason For These Attacks. Factions Within Iran are Against the Peace MOU.

    🚨 BREAKING | New Details from Inside the IRGC Following the Israel-Lebanon Agreement

    • According to my sources, senior IRGC officials are furious with Abbas Araghchi and Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf over the negotiations with the United States.

    • They believe Iran opened the Strait of Hormuz but received nothing substantial in return except limited oil sanctions relief.

    • According to my sources, the IRGC is considering “heating up” the Strait of Hormuz once again.

    • The anger has intensified over two additional issues: the U.S. push to route shipping through Omani waters instead of Iranian waters, and the Israel-Lebanon agreement, which they view as a violation of the memorandum of understanding.

    Bottom line:
    According to my sources, the IRGC believes Iran was deceived and is now reassessing its next steps.

    Iran can play the SOH card only once.

    Meanwhile the world economy is finding ways to live without the Straight of Hormus. Or Simply Find A way to Bypass It.

    Iran's card has been played and Known and will eventually be worthless.
