Iran's army said it launched attacks on strategic U.S. assets and military bases in Kuwait and Bahrain. The announcement came as Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said authorities are conducting an ongoing investigation into a drone attack that targeted two gas vessels at Damietta Port.
Sisi, during a phone call with Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, called for regional de-escalation and stressed the need for the broader international community to intensify efforts to contain regional tensions and prevent further escalation. No party has claimed responsibility for the drone attack, which has raised fears that the conflict in the region could widen to a new front.
