Iran fires missiles at Gulf states following joint US strikes
Reports indicate Iran has launched ballistic missiles targeting Israel and several Gulf nations, including Bahrain and the UAE. The barrage follows joint American and Israeli airstrikes near the Supreme Leader’s offices, which President Donald Trump described as necessary to eliminate imminent threats. Explosions were heard in Abu Dhabi and Kuwait, while the US Navy’s Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain was reportedly targeted. Israeli defence systems have been activated as citizens are urged to seek immediate shelter.
