• Iran launches fresh missile, drone attacks on Kuwait, Bahrain • Kuwait says new attack ‘dangerous escalation’; Bahrain denounces ‘blatant aggression’ • Falling debris causes ‘material damage’ in Kuwait • Centcom says four attack drones downed near Hormuz; Iranian coastal radar sites also hit • Trump says Iran has ‘22pc’ of missiles left • US okays sale of $2bn in anti-drone weapons to Kuwait KUWAIT CITY: Iran launched fresh missile and drone attacks on Bahrain and Kuwait early on Saturday, while the United States said it struck Iranian coastal radar sites after intercepting missiles and drones aimed at Gulf allies and the Strait of Hormuz, further straining a fragile ceasefire. Bahrain and Kuwait intercepted seven Iranian missiles, while Bahrain also destroyed several drones, officials said. It was the second attack on both Gulf states since Wednesday.

# Translation The US president rebels against negotiations between both countries over the Strait of Hormuz while Tehran responds with an offensive against Kuwait and Israel declares southern Lebanon a "combat zone." Why Trump now links peace with Iran to the controversial Abraham Accords The ceasefire is increasingly less of a ceasefire, despite the Trump Administration having assured Congress that it "suspended" the war in Iran on April 8, the day the fragile ceasefire began—a ceasefire that has been violated on several occasions since then, especially in recent days with US bombings in southern Iran. Indeed, since Trump assured last Saturday that an agreement with Iran was "imminent," signals continue to emerge that contradict this, such as US bombings in recent days but also Israel's military escalation in Lebanon, to the point that this Wednesday it declared the south of the country a "combat zone." Kuwait, for its part, has reported suffering an attack with missiles and drones from Iran, following the US attack against the Persian nation. The Revolutionary Guard stated in a communiqué that it responded to the US attack against an Iranian military position near Bandar Abbas airport, attacking a US air base in Kuwait: "This response constitutes a serious warning so that the enemy knows that aggression will not go unanswered and that, if repeated, our reaction will be even more forceful." Trump stated this Wednesday, during a cabinet meeting at the White House, that Iran is negotiating "with depleted reserves," the same day the US Central Command shot down four Iranian drones in the vicinity of the Strait of Hormuz and attacked an Iranian ground control station in Bandar Abbas (Iranian city near the Strait of Hormuz) that was about to launch a fifth drone, according to the US Army, AP reports.
