Iran Launches Missiles at U.S. Ally

Iran has retaliated against the latest U.S. attacks by firing missiles and drones at Kuwait, our ally in the Middle East. What will be President Trump’s next move in the ongoing conflict?

As reported by Fox News:

Iran fired missiles and drones at Kuwait early Thursday as Tehran continued retaliatory attacks following U.S. bombardments earlier this week.

Kuwait’s air defenses intercepted the incoming missiles and drones after sirens sounded across the country, according to Kuwait’s Ministry of Defense, which described the attack as a “blatant Iranian aggression.”

Kuwait’s foreign ministry posted a statement on X condemning what it called “repeated heinous Iranian aggressions” as “a direct threat” against the country’s security, stability and sovereignty.

“The Ministry reiterates its affirmation that the continuation of these brazen aggressions reflects a hostile approach, constitutes a dangerous escalation that threatens the security and stability of the region, and systematically undermines diplomatic efforts aimed at de-escalation and reducing tensions,” the statement said.

The attack followed Iranian strikes targeting what Tehran said were U.S. assets in Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait and Iraq. Bahrain and Jordan said their air defense systems intercepted several Iranian attacks Wednesday.

Fighting between the U.S. and Iran has intensified after American forces struck Iranian rocket launchers on an island in the Strait of Hormuz on Sunday. The U.S. said Iran had planned to use the launchers to fire mines into the strategic waterway.

Iran has also threatened oil tankers traveling through the Strait of Hormuz without its authorization, further restricting traffic through the critical shipping route, which carried roughly 20% of the world’s oil supply before the war.

Overnight Iran fired a barrage of missiles at Kuwait,  which contains several strategic military bases for the United States. As a result, Kuwait has been a frequent target of the Iranians throughout this conflict.

There have been multiple instances where Iran has targeted Kuwait’s civilian airport. So much so that a portion of it was shut down because of destruction caused by Iranian missiles and drone attacks.

This time, Iran launched rockets and missiles at Kuwait in response to the United States initiating a strategic strike at suspected mine-laying boats near the Strait of Hormuz. Fortunately, Kuwait’s air defenses intercepted the incoming missiles and drones, according to Kuwait’s Ministry of Defense, which described the attack as “a blatant Iranian aggression.”

Iran is going back to its playbook of hitting its Gulf neighbors, rather than attacking the U.S. vessels directly. That sheds some light on their true military capabilities. Iran is choosing easier, closer targets and, even then, having a tough time striking them.

So, while there’s the economic kind of noose around Iran that continues to tighten, instead of trying to make friends with their neighbors in the Middle East for possible support, it’s treating anyone who works with the United States as an enemy. These countries in the past attempted to keep things as neutral as possible. Now that they’ve been hit by Iran, they can and must treat Iran as a threat.

The Trump Administration is building a major coalition in the Middle East to hamper Iran’s attempts to obtain a nuclear weapon as well as its ability to carry out additional violent attacks outside of Iran. And in the long term, that could lead to a more peaceful world.

The fact that these countries have begun to share intel, share military strategies – if not secrets, per se – so that they don’t end up harming each other, essentially puts us all on the same side in this conflict. And that puts them on the same side as Israel, at least when it comes to Iran. And that’s notable in and of itself.
