Iran Strikes US Bases in Kuwait, Drawing Gulf State Into Conflict

Iran retaliated against US airstrikes by launching drone attacks on two American bases in Kuwait — Camp Buehring's ammunition depot and radar systems at Ali Al Salem air base. Kuwait's army confirmed responding to "Iranian aggression." The strikes mark the first direct Iranian attack on Kuwaiti-hosted US facilities, widening a conflict that reignited after a month-long ceasefire collapsed in mid-July 2026.
