Iran exchanged fresh attacks with its Gulf neighbors and the US overnight<\/strong>, after Tehran launched missiles<\/a> at Kuwait and Bahrain, as well as \u201ccivilian mariners that were rightfully transiting regional waters.\u201d None of Iran\u2019s attacks made it to their targets: \u201cTwo Iranian missiles fired at Kuwait fell short or broke apart enroute, and three missiles launched at Bahrain were immediately intercepted by US and Bahrain air defense forces,\u201d the US Central Command said. <\/p>\n

The US retaliated with strikes on Qeshm Island<\/strong>, targeting an Iranian military ground control station.<\/p>\n

Ostensibly missing from Iran\u2019s target list: The UAE<\/strong>, which has otherwise borne the brunt of Tehran\u2019s attacks throughout the war. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Lebanon <\/strong>continues to get pummeled<\/a><\/strong> as Israel resumed its attacks in the country\u2019s south<\/strong>, even as the two countries kicked off a fresh round of negotiations for a permanent ceasefire yesterday in Washington. Tel Aviv agreed to hold off on a planned attack<\/a> in Beirut after US President Donald Trump intervened to avoid further escalations. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to continue his war in south Lebanon, even as Iran has insisted that any ceasefire agreement must include Lebanon. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
