Iran has launched new drone and missile attacks on Kuwait and Bahrain, striking countries that host key US military bases and raising fears of a wider regional conflict. In Kuwait, an attack hit the main international airport, killing at least one person and injuring dozens more.
Tehran says the strikes are retaliation for a US attack on an Iranian island, but the latest escalation is putting a fragile ceasefire under increasing strain. With talks sending mixed signals and both sides trading accusations, questions are growing about whether the conflict is spreading – and how long efforts to contain it can hold.
