Kuwait said it intercepted Iranian drone attacks on Monday, and explosions were heard in Bahrain after air raid sirens sounded. The episode follows rising tensions between Iran and the United States in the Gulf. A US service member was killed on Saturday during a controlled detonation of unexploded ordnance in northern Iraq, according to US Central Command. Iranian Revolutionary Guards said they struck US military targets in Kuwait on Monday, claiming to have destroyed an early‑warning radar system, a statement reported by the state news agency IRNA. Kuwait’s defence ministry said its air defence systems intercepted multiple drones aimed at Kuwaiti sites. Explosions were reported in Manama, Bahrain, after sirens activated. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun in Washington and praised Lebanon’s “move towards peace,” according to a statement. Israel’s defence minister said Israel would respond powerfully to any Iranian attack, after Israeli and Jordanian forces intercepted an Iranian missile targeting the Jordanian city of Aqaba. The incident underscores the continued risk of accidental confrontations in the region, and no further details about the drone attacks have been confirmed.
