Tensions in the Middle East escalated once again early Wednesday after Iran launched missiles towards US military facilities in Kuwait and Bahrain. According to the US central command (CENTCOM), the missiles failed to hit their targets and were either intercepted or broke apart before impact. In response, the US military carried out strikes on an Iranian military facility.
The night sky over the Gulf lit up as Iranian missiles and drones headed toward American positions. US air defence systems intercepted the incoming threats near Kuwait City, preventing them from reaching the Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait.
