NOS·US · IR·about 3 hours ago
Iran's Revolutionary Guards announced they will target ships in Kuwaiti and Bahraini ports hosting American forces, in response to US attacks on Iranian oil tankers. This escalates the Gulf maritime conflict, threatening key oil shipping lanes and potentially drawing Gulf states into the confrontation. The threat is unverified but signals a deliberate broadening of targets beyond the Strait of Hormuz.
