In the latest developments amid the ongoing US-Iran war, Tehran has claimed to launch fresh attacks on US bases across Kuwait, Qatar, and Bahrain.
The Middle East is on the boil again after the US early Sunday launched a new round of strikes on Iran following Tehran's announcement that it's closing the Strait of Hormuz - the world's most vital energy conduit - "until further notice." Iran then responded with missile attacks at Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates.
The tensions escalated when Iran's Revolutionary Guards announced the closure of the strait after firing on a vessel it said was taking an "unauthorised route". It said multiple vessels “disregarded our warnings and instructions to correct their course and proceed along the approved route.” One of them “was struck by a warning shot and brought to a stop," it said.
