Iran Fires Missiles At Israel, Kuwait, Jordan And Bahrain Amid Escalation: Reports

In a major escalation of the ongoing conflict involving Iran, Israel, and the United States, Iranian forces have reportedly launched missile and drone attacks on Wednesday, targeting not only Israel but also U.S.-linked military installations in Kuwait, Jordan, and Bahrain, according to AFP and Iranian state media.

The strikes mark a widening of the nearly month-long war in West Asia, raising fears of a deeper regional conflict. According to AFP, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards confirmed that “precision-guided” missile systems and attack drones were used to hit strategic targets, including locations described as being “in the heart of the occupied territories,” referring to Israel. In one of the most alarming incidents, drones struck a fuel tank at Kuwait International Airport, sparking a fire early Wednesday.

According to AFP, Kuwait’s civil aviation authority reported that the damage was “limited” and no casualties were recorded. Emergency teams quickly brought the situation under control, while air defence systems intercepted multiple incoming threats.

Amid the intensifying violence, U.S. President Donald Trump has initiated diplomatic efforts, sending a reported 15-point ceasefire proposal to Iran. According to AFP and Associated Press sources, Trump expressed optimism that the conflict could soon de-escalate.

Speaking at the White House, Trump hinted at a “significant development” involving Iran and the strategic Strait of Hormuz—a vital global oil transit route. Shortly after, Tehran signalled that it would allow “non-hostile” vessels to pass through the strait, easing concerns over a complete blockade.

The situation around the Strait of Hormuz continues to impact global markets. Brent crude prices dropped sharply following signs of possible diplomacy. However, uncertainty remains high.

According to AFP, global supply chains are already feeling the strain. A senior official from the World Trade Organisation warned that disruptions to fertiliser shipments through the strait could threaten global food security, potentially leading to shortages and rising prices.

Meanwhile, violence has also surged in Lebanon, where Israeli airstrikes reportedly killed at least nine people in southern regions, including Sidon. According to AFP, the strikes targeted areas linked to Hezbollah, which has been actively involved in the conflict since early March.

Despite diplomatic overtures, the U.S. is also reinforcing its military presence. Reports indicate that troops from the 82nd Airborne Division are being prepared for deployment to West Asia, highlighting the fragile and uncertain nature of the situation.
