Iran launches attacks on US allies across the Gulf
Iran has launched missiles and drones at its Gulf neighbours, in retaliation for new strikes by the United States following an attack by Iranian forces on a merchant vessel that was abandoned in flames by its crew.
Sirens and explosions were heard in Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, AFP journalists and local authorities reported, the latest escalation to undermine an interim agreement between Washington and Tehran aimed at ending the war.
The Pentagon said it had struck Iran early Sunday after Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps fired on a Cyprus-registered container ship they said was sailing an “unauthorised route” through the Strait of Hormuz.
