Iran Strikes US Bases Across Gulf Amid Rising Middle East Tensions
Missiles have struck key US military assets across the Gulf, sending shockwaves through the region and raising fears of a broader conflict. The attacks, confirmed by Iran, hit targets in Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, marking a major escalation following recent strikes on Iranian positions by the United States and Israel.
In Abu Dhabi, at least one person was killed after missiles were intercepted, while in Bahrain, the US Navy’s 5th Fleet headquarters came under direct attack. Kuwait and Qatar reported that ballistic missiles aimed at their airbases and territory were successfully intercepted, though the rapid pace of these strikes forced temporary airspace closures. Saudi Arabia also confirmed it repelled missiles targeting Riyadh and its eastern provinces.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps described the operation as a decisive response, warning that their campaign would continue until they consider the “enemy” defeated. Officials stressed their right to self-defense, but the consequences of these coordinated attacks are already being felt across the Gulf. Air defenses in multiple countries were put on high alert and civilian air travel has been disrupted as nations scramble to secure their skies.
This surge of hostilities comes amid recently stalled diplomatic talks, in which Oman had played a key mediating role between Iran and the United States. Hopes for a peaceful resolution evaporated as military actions overtook diplomacy. Analysts now warn that the Gulf Cooperation Council, which includes Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE and Oman, faces unprecedented pressure to maintain regional security while navigating these attacks.
The implications are global. Beyond the immediate humanitarian and security threats, these strikes threaten international shipping routes through the Gulf, a critical corridor for global oil supply. Markets are reacting nervously and world powers are closely monitoring the situation for signs of further escalation.
Here in Doha, observers report dozens of intercepted missiles and the constant hum of air defense activity. The message from Iran is clear: in retaliation for US and Israeli strikes, they are prepared to strike any target associated with these forces. The next hours and days could determine whether the region stabilizes or slides deeper into conflict.
For viewers around the world, the need to stay informed has never been more urgent. Keep watching as we track developments, provide verified updates and bring clarity to this rapidly evolving crisis.
