Iran has carried out new attacks across several Gulf countries despite earlier statements about halting hostilities. On Sunday, reports emerged of fresh strikes in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, and Kuwait. Saudi Arabia’s defense ministry said it intercepted 15 drones, while Kuwait’s military confirmed a drone attack on fuel tanks at its international airport that killed two firefighters.

Kuwait’s armed forces stated on social media that its air defense systems were actively countering hostile missile and drone assaults, adding that explosions heard in the area were due to interception operations. Following the incident, Kuwait’s national oil company announced a precautionary reduction in crude oil production.

The renewed attacks have heightened tensions across the Gulf region, with Iran’s actions contradicting its earlier assurances to stop offensive operations, according to the report sourced from The Guardian.
