New Delhi: West Asian countries, Bahrain and Kuwait were under attack early morning on Wednesday as a retaliation of Tehran over U.S. strikes targeting it and the reimposed blockade.
Bahrain heard missile alert siren, while Kuwait’s military claimed that its air forces were trying to shoot down incoming missiles and drones.
Both countries host US military forces and have been repeatedly been targeted by Iran as tensions have increased over the Strait of Hormuz.
In the meantime, US President Donald Trump backtracked on his threat to heavily tax ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz, he warned he would expand U.S. strikes on Iran next week to target power plants and bridges if Tehran does not agree to a deal.
US forces carried out a seven-hour strike against the Iran's military targets near the Strait of Hormuz and along Iran’s coast hours after resuming a naval blockade of vessels travelling to and from Iranian ports, the US Central Command said.
U.S. forces resumed the naval blockade against vessels transiting to and from Iranian ports and coastal areas today at 4 p.m. ET.
