Gulf states again under Iranian fire

Gulf states on Friday reported further attacks from Iran, as Tehran continued to retaliate for Israeli-US strikes.

The Kuwaiti Army early on Friday said on social media platform X that "air defense systems were intercepting hostile targets," speaking of drones and missile attacks.

The Ministry of Defence in Saudi Arabia said it had repelled several drone attacks, while authorities in the United Arab Emirates confirmed on X "the success of all air interception operations, with no injuries reported."

Meanwhile in Bahrain, the Ministry of the Interior said on X that "as a result of the Iranian aggression, a fire in a company warehouse after shrapnel fell. Civil Defence control the fire without any injuries."

Iran has attacked Gulf nations in retaliation for Israeli-US strikes which killed its supreme leader and caused widespread damage. Qatar is seen by Tehran as too friendly with the US.
