Amid efforts for a peace agreement between America and Iran, tension between the two sides has once again increased. On Wednesday (June 3), Iran attacked US military bases in Kuwait and Bahrain with drones and missiles. In retaliation, the US Army targeted Iran’s Qeshm Island and other targets.

US Central Command issued a statement saying that Tehran attacked its neighboring countries with drones and missiles, all of which failed. The missiles fired by Iran in Kuwait either did not reach the target or were destroyed on the way. Three missiles fired at Bahrain were also intercepted by the US and Bahrain air defense systems.
