The US and Iran clashed overnight, with Kuwait and Bahrain caught in the crossfire, following days of rising tension that threatens to derail US-Iran talks about an interim peace deal.
Iran targeted the US's main naval base in Bahrain and the Ali Al-Salem airbase in Kuwait, and the US struck a communications tower on the Iranian island of Qeshm in response.
The US military said its strikes on Iran were all in self-defense and no American personnel or assets were harmed, while Iran's foreign ministry "strongly condemned" the US attack and warned that disrupting security in the Strait of Hormuz will carry a heavy cost.
