Iran Strikes US Bases in UAE and Kuwait; Israel Warns of Tehran’s ‘Desperate Steps’

Iran has struck US air bases in the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait, showing it can still hit American forces in the Gulf after six months of conflict and new sanctions that Washington calls an “economic D-day.” The attacks come despite threats of further US military action. In response, Israel’s defense chief warned that the economic pressure from sanctions could push Iran’s leadership toward more “extreme measures.” The Israeli official said Iran’s regime fears collapse due to its financial troubles, which may drive Tehran to take desperate actions beyond its current military operations.
