Iran has fired missiles and drones at Gulf States Kuwait, Bahrain and the United Arabe Emirate despite a Pakistani brokered ceasefire on Tuesday.
According to Kuwaiti defence ministry officials a wave of Iranian drones targeted the country’s energy infrastructure, hours after the announcement of a two-week ceasefire between Tehran and Washington.
The Defense Ministry said in a statement that air defense systems responded to “intense hostile Iranian attacks,” adding that a total of 28 drones were dealt with.
“Kuwaiti armed forces intercepted a large number of drones, some of which targeted vital oil installations and power stations in the south of the country,” it added.
The ministry said the attacks resulted in serious material damage to oil infrastructure facilities, power stations, and water desalination plants.
The UAE said it was intercepting Iranian attacks while Bahrain also said its capital Manama had been hit.
US Vice President JD Vance warned the truce between Washington and Tehran remained “fragile”
Vance, speaking in Budapest, said negotiations could turn a “fragile truce” into a deal if Iran was “willing in good faith to work with us”.
If not “they’re going to find out that the President of the United States is not one to mess around. He’s impatient. He’s impatient to make progress,” Vance said.
Iran’s powerful Revolutionary Guards said on Wednesday they had “no trust” in US promises and warned their “finger is on the trigger”. With Agency reports
