Gulf neighbours

The US conducted strikes on Iran for the seventh night, prompting Tehran to launch attacks on US military sites in Gulf neighbors. Kuwait reported an Iranian attack damaging a water and electricity plant, following a similar strike on another plant the previous day.

Iran is targeting its Gulf neighbours in a third round of attacks as tensions escalate with the US. The strikes are part of a tit-for-tat cycle between Iran and the US in the region.

Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz and attacked Gulf neighbours in retaliation for US strikes. The US military hit approximately 140 targets in Iran following an attack on a commercial ship in the strait.

Oman is considering implementing fees for vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz, citing the need for services like pollution cleanup and navigation assistance. The proposal has raised concerns among the US, European governments, and Oman’s Gulf neighbors, who fear potential collaboration with Iran to establish a toll system. Oman stated it would adhere to international maritime law but has not clarified if the fees would be mandatory.

Iran attacked American bases in Jordan and Bahrain, warning Gulf neighbors to prevent the United States and Israel from using their territory for strikes. The attacks followed U.S. strikes on Iran in response to the downing of an American helicopter, straining a ceasefire.

The United Arab Emirates reported dismantling an Iran-linked 'terror' cell, resulting in arrests following a series of Iranian attacks on Gulf neighbors. The action underscores regional security concerns and Iran's alleged involvement in destabilizing the Gulf.
