US launches 10th night of strikes in Iran, Tehran attacks Kuwait

Explosions were reported in the Iranian coastal cities of Bandar Abbas, Qeshm Island, Chabahar and Konarak early Thursday, coinciding with a new series of strikes launched by United States forces in the region. Iranian state media and local authorities confirmed the incidents, describing them as the result of aerial attacks that targeted military and strategic installations. The United States, which has intensified its operations against Iranian-backed militias in the Middle East, said the latest wave of attacks was aimed at degrading weapons depots and command centers linked to Tehran’s regional activities.

The incidents have heightened tensions between Tehran and Washington, which have been engaged in a series of retaliatory actions over the past months. Iranian officials have vowed to respond to any aggression, while U.S. defense spokespeople emphasized that the operations were conducted in accordance with international law and were intended to protect American personnel and interests. No official casualty figures have been released, and the situation remains under close observation by regional and global security analysts.
