Iran said it hit US military bases in Kuwait and the UAE, vowing to avenge a wedding attack it blamed on Washington, as US Vice President JD Vance said the strike was being investigated.
The new clashes, which began with US raids on Sunday, have deepened the impasse in the six-month war, as Iran maintains a stranglehold on the strategic Strait of Hormuz and Washington presses its counter-blockade of Iranian ports.
Kuwait’s army said it intercepted a missile and drone attack from Iran, with the Iranian army reporting that it hit US assets at the Ahmad Al-Jaber Air Base “with missiles and drones.”
Kuwait called the strikes a “grave breach of the rules of international law.”
Iran’s army also said it struck Al Minhad Air Base in the United Arab Emirates, but the Gulf country reported no such attack.
The strikes came after the Iranian Red Crescent said a missile attack on a wedding in Iran killed four people on Tuesday night, including a child, and wounded more than 50.
