Kuwait’s defense ministry confirmed on 19 July 2026 that Iranian attacks had caused severe damage to critical infrastructure, including facilities under the Ministry of Electricity, Water, and Renewable Energy. Spokesperson Major General Saud Abdulaziz Al-Otaibi described the assaults as “reprehensible Iranian aggression,” emphasizing their impact on essential services. The attacks reportedly led to fires and extensive destruction, disrupting energy and water supply systems. This marks another escalation in the ongoing conflict involving Iran and regional allies. The attacks occurred during a period of heightened tensions following a series of U.S.-led strikes against Iranian military targets. According to reports, the United States launched a tenth consecutive night of attacks targeting Iranian command centers, naval bases, missile launch sites, and air defense systems in retaliation for Iranian actions in the Strait of Hormuz. In response, Tehran claimed it had struck American military installations in both Bahrain and Kuwait, escalating the risk of direct confrontation. The Pentagon reported that nearly 100 U.S. troops had sustained injuries since mid-July due to clashes with Iranian forces. In Kuwait, the attacks were concentrated in the Mangaf area, where explosions damaged a power generation facility and a water desalination plant. Local authorities urged residents to conserve electricity amid the disruption. Smoke plumes were visible over parts of the city, and the government issued statements condemning the attacks as deliberate acts of aggression. A Kuwaiti defense spokesperson noted that the country was under continuous drone and missile fire, prompting the activation of air defense systems to intercept incoming projectiles. Simultaneously, Bahrain faced similar threats. Sirens were sounded again on 17 July 2026, indicating a renewed wave of Iranian missile and drone attacks. The Bahraini interior ministry called for civilians to seek shelter, while the kingdom’s defense ministry reported intercepting aerial threats. Iran claimed responsibility for targeting U.S. logistical support centers in the region, further complicating the already volatile security environment. The situation has raised concerns among regional leaders, who warn of the potential for broader conflict. In addition to Kuwait and Bahrain, other Gulf states have also been affected. Reports indicate that Israeli forces opened fire near Lebanese troops in southern Lebanon, according to the Lebanese military. This incident followed accusations that Israel had violated an agreement regarding the gradual withdrawal of its forces from areas controlled by Hezbollah, a group backed by Iran. The situation highlights the complex web of alliances and hostilities in the Middle East, where regional conflicts often intersect with international interests. Political tensions have also intensified within the United States. President Donald Trump has been criticized for putting Republicans in a difficult position by escalating the conflict with Iran. Congressional Democrats argue that the administration has failed to provide clear strategic direction or secure legislative approval for continued military involvement. With less than 100 days remaining until midterm elections, political pressure is mounting on both parties to address the growing costs and risks associated with the war. Meanwhile, the Department of State has issued travel advisories warning Americans abroad of the increased threat of attacks.

ANSANeovisanSredinaprije 10 hSjedinjene Države su deset uzastopnih noći pokrenule još jednu rundu napada na Iran, ciljajući na vojne zapovjedne centre, pomorske sposobnosti, mjesta za lansiranje projektila, postrojenja za bespilotne letjelice i iranske sustave zračne obrane. Cilj je smanjiti sposobnost Irana da napada komercijalne brodove koji prolaze kroz Ormuški moreuz. U međuvremenu, Teheran tvrdi da je pogodio američke vojne ciljeve u Bahreinu i Kuvajtu. Pentagon je izvijestio da je od 7. srpnja u sukobima s Iranom ozlijeđeno gotovo 100 američkih vojnika. Državno odjeljenje je izdalo upozorenje za Amerikance širom svijeta zbog rizika od napada. Osim toga, Kuvajt i Bahrein su pod napadom projektila i bespilotnih letjelica, a Bahrein zvuči alarme za zračne napade. U Libanonu je libanska vojska optužena da su otvorile vatru u blizini svojih izraelskih vojnika u južnom Libanonu, što je potvrđeno tijekom raspoređivanja trupa u skladu s sporazumom o razoružanju proiranskog pokreta Hezbollah.
