Iran Escalates Gulf War: Missiles, Drones Strike Region as Ship Burns in Strait of Hormuz
Iran launched missiles and drones across several Gulf countries on Wednesday, targeting oil facilities, airports, and military sites as regional tensions intensify. Air defences in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and the UAE intercepted multiple incoming strikes. Meanwhile, a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz was hit by a projectile and caught fire, forcing its crew to evacuate. The attacks come amid ongoing clashes between Iran, the US, and Israel, raising fears of disruption to global oil shipments through the vital shipping route.
