US says Iranian missile attacks on Kuwait and Bahrain failed, confirms striking Qeshm Island

Two Iranian missiles fired at Kuwait fell short or broke apart en route, and three missiles launched at Bahrain were intercepted by US and Bahrain forces, the US military says.

US Central Command adds that Iran launched ballistic missiles toward regional neighbors but all failed to hit targets, and that US forces conducted strikes on Qeshm Island in response to attempted attacks by Iran and defeated multiple Iranian ballistic missiles and drones on Tuesday.

“No US personnel were harmed. CENTCOM forces remain vigilant and ready to defend against unwarranted Iranian aggression during the ongoing ceasefire,” says a statement from Central Command.
