US Central Command said Iran fired missiles at Kuwait and Bahrain, which were thwarted or failed, prompting US forces to hit back at Iran's Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz, DW reports.
"Iran launched several ballistic missiles toward regional neighbors; however, all failed to hit their intended targets. Two Iranian missiles fired at Kuwait fell short or broke apart enroute, and three missiles launched at Bahrain were immediately intercepted by U.S. and Bahrain air defense forces," CENTCOM said on X.
Iran's Revolutionary Guards said it had attacked the US Fifth Fleet headquarters, a US naval facility in Bahrain, with missiles and drones.
Iranian state media reported the Guards launched the attack in response to US strikes on Qeshm Island.
Iran and the US said last week that they had reached a tentative deal to halt the war, but the two sides have yet to sign off on any agreement.
