Iran-US war latest: Iran attacks US bases across three Gulf allies after Trump renews strikes on Tehran

Oil prices surged as escalating tensions in the Middle East unsettled markets and dimmed hopes for an end ​to the months-long war.

Oil prices climbed about 1 per cent in early trade, moving away from a seven-week low touched in the previous session in ​the wake of the fresh US attacks.

Brent futures rose 0.9 per cent to $92.29 a barrel, while US West Texas Intermediate ⁠WTI crude climbed 0.8 per cent to $88.97.

Iran’s top diplomat said foreign military forces near its territory “are at constant risk” and later vowed that there would be a response to the new US strikes.

Iranian forces “will leave no attack or threat unanswered,” Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi said on X. “Leave our region if you want to be safe.”

At least two explosions were heard in Bahrain this morning, Mehr news agency reported.

Bahrain so far has sounded two air raid sirens and urged its citizens to take shelter after Iran began striking US allies in the Gulf region.

The Jordanian armed forces said this morning that they ⁠shot down five missiles launched ⁠from ​Iran towards the ⁠al-Azraq area.

The military ​added ⁠that debris ‌from the interception operation fell on ‌Jordanian territory ‌but caused no injuries ⁠or material damage.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps said it had targeted ‌four sites ​at the ‌US’s ⁠al-Azraq base ⁠using long-range ‌missiles.

The US military has claimed that nearly all drones launched by Iran towards Kuwait, Bahrain and Jordan were intercepted.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guard said they fired drones and ballistic missiles at 21 targets spanning across US air and naval bases in the Gulf.

Bahrain’s home ministry activated air raid sirens for the second time in the day. “Citizens and residents are urged to remain calm and head to the nearest safe place,” it said in a post on X.

Iran has launched strikes at US bases in Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan in retaliation against Donald Trump’s renewed attack on Tehran.

The Kuwaiti army said its air defence systems are “currently intercepting hostile aerial targets” after Iran’s Revolutionary Guard said it targeted Ali al Salem base in Kuwait with drones.

The Kuwaiti army has urged its residents to “adhere to the security and safety instructions and guidelines issued by the competent authorities, and to obtain information from authorised official sources”.

Iran has fired at least four ballistic missiles and several drones at US bases in Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan in retaliation against Donald Trump’s renewed attacks on Tehran.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guard said its Aerospace Force launched long-range missiles at an airbase in Jordan, which hosts US military personnel.

The Guard claimed its missiles destroyed four critical targets at the base, including F-35 fighter jet hangars and a primary command and control centre.

Israeli authorities are directly involved in settler attacks that have killed, injured and displaced Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, while Israeli security forces provide protection to settlers, a U.N. inquiry said on Tuesday.

The report by the Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory found that Israeli authorities had enabled settler attacks through financial and military support, in a climate of impunity fostered by judicial and law-enforcement bodies. It also found that the Palestinian militant group Hamas had committed war crimes against both Palestinians and Israelis.

The report said Israeli settler attacks on Palestinian villages and agricultural land had surged since 2023, rising by 130%, including incidents involving groups of masked assailants. Israeli security forces routinely accompanied settlers and acted as a shield for the violence, it said.

The Israeli mission in Geneva rejected the report’s findings accusing the body of drawing a “false moral equivalence” between Hamas militants and Israeli civilians and of relying on what it called unsubstantiated allegations. It said Israeli authorities including the president and prime minister had repeatedly condemned violence against Palestinians.

The Israeli army said its mission was maintain security and conduct counterterrorism operations, that it condemned “any form of violence that undermines security”, and that any alleged misconduct by Israeli soldiers was thoroughly reviewed.

US Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has bashed US President Donald Trump after Iran was accused of shooting down an American helicopter over the Strait of Hormuz.

“American soldiers were shot down in Iran as Trump was wasting taxpayer dollars to fall asleep while watching the Knicks”, the top Democrat wrote on X Tuesday, referring to the president’s appearance at a basketball game.

“Each day this illegal war drags on further exposes this President’s recklessness”.
