Iran has carried out strikes against United States targets in Kuwait, according to a report from DW.com published Friday. The attack proceeds despite earlier threats exchanged between the two countries.
DW.com reports that the strike on US positions in Kuwait marks a significant escalation in the ongoing confrontation. The outlet did not specify the exact weapons used or the extent of damage caused by the attack.
The move comes amid a broader spike in hostilities between Washington and Tehran. According to El Economista, oil prices were on track for a weekly gain of more than 8 percent as fighting between the US and Iran resumed, with traders closely monitoring supply risks in the Strait of Hormuz. Yahoo Finanzas similarly noted that crude prices pulled back slightly from six-week highs, even as concerns over potential disruptions in the strategic waterway persisted.
In a separate development covered by La Jornada, Iran accused the United States of committing a war crime after a US missile strike hit a wedding party. The claim adds another layer of tension to an already volatile situation, though DW.com’s report on the Kuwait attack does not link the two incidents directly.
Reforma, another outlet tracking the story, also confirmed that Iran had attacked US targets in Kuwait, corroborating the initial DW.com report.
The situation remains fluid, with no immediate word on US retaliation. Observers will be watching whether Washington responds militarily and how the renewed conflict affects global energy markets in the coming days.
