Kuwait Downed Iranian Missiles Amid Escalation | Global News

Kuwait’s air defenses intercepted and downed Iranian missiles as U.S.-Iran strikes escalate, targeting infrastructure and military sites across the region. The collapse of a ceasefire leaves no end in sight, with both sides vying for control of the Strait of Hormuz — a vital global shipping chokepoint. U.S. strikes hit surveillance, logistics, and maritime targets, while Kuwait’s water desalination plant was hit, sparking fires and forcing airspace closures. Iraq and Jordan also scrambled defenses, and Bahrain sounded air sirens. Iran claims U.S. strikes killed dozens and wounded hundreds, while closing the strait sent oil prices soaring. The U.S. confirms more service members injured, and Iran’s Revolutionary Guard warns allies hosting U.S. forces to brace for retaliation.
