Iran seems to be waving a flag saying, "Finish me now."
There are reports now that they have launched attacks across multiple Gulf States, including Kuwait and Bahrain.
Warning for loud siren:
Iran launched missiles and drones at Kuwait, according to the Kuwaiti Ministry of Defense.
Iran also attacked Bahrain and triggered air raid sirens there, according to Bahrain's Interior Ministry.
There are also sirens sounding in Saudi Arabia, although they have not yet confirmed an attack.
Those states have U.S. military bases.
U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) explained that the attacks failed and/or were intercepted, and we retaliated with "self-defense strikes."
U.S. forces successfully defeated multiple Iranian ballistic missiles and drones, and conducted self-defense strikes on Qeshm Island in response to attempted attacks by Iran across the Middle East, June 2.
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.
Moments earlier, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces shot down three one-way attack drones launched by Iran toward civilian mariners that were rightfully transiting regional waters. American forces also conducted self-defense strikes on an Iranian military ground control station on Qeshm Island.
No U.S. personnel were harmed. CENTCOM forces remain vigilant and ready to defend against unwarranted Iranian aggression during the ongoing ceasefire.
