Iran’s Navy Targets U.S. Base In Kuwait After Washington Renews Military Action Overnight

Iran attacked a U.S Air Base in Kuwait after American forces targeted the southern part of Iran overnight.

The Iranian attack came after the U.S. shot down Iranian drones over Hormuz and hit a military site in the port city of Bandar Abbas in southern Iran.

This is the second time in 3 days that the U.S. has attacked Iran, stating the act was conducted as a self-defence measure.

US Central Command mentioned that the Iranian attack in Kuwait was an “egregious ceasefire violation” that occurred “hours after Iranian forces launched five one-way attack drones that posed a clear threat in and near the Strait of Hormuz”.

Centcom called it “measured, purely defensive, and intended to maintain the ceasefire”.

Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Esmail Baqai condemned U.S action and said that it violated the ceasefire agreement.

Washington has also imposed sanctions on the Persian Gulf Strait Authority, the newly formed Iranian body to collect payments from ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz.

The U.S Treasury Department also said that anyone who pays the transit fee will also be sanctioned.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent also warned Oman that the U.S. will not tolerate any tolling system in Hormuz, while Trump told the media, ‘Oman will behave just like everybody else, or we’ll have to blow them up.’

Meanwhile, Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman Baqai said that Tehran will collect fees for navigational services and will manage traffic through the waterway.

As negotiations cannot be reached, Trump has threatened to bomb Iran if it does not agree to Washington’s conditions.

He said that Iran is eager to reach a deal, but so far, they have not gotten there. His statement came after the Iranian state TV reported a draft agreement which included details about reopening Hormuz and the possibility of U.S forces’ withdrawal from the Gulf.

The White House called the reporting “complete fabrication”.
