Iran - Israel/US War: Israel-US declare war on Iran, Iran responds

As I suspected, these waves of strikes against US bases in Kuwait are in response to the U.S. attacking Qeshm Island earlier today, though we don’t yet know what triggered that.

The second wave of missiles is now ongoing

Appears the US struck a Botswana-flagged vessel that was headed for Kharg.

The U.S. has not yet commented on its attacks on Qeshm Island but they were likely significant to trigger this large Iranian response

Iran promised a larger response the next time, and they delivered that today

Indeed, but this is a separate event to the U.S. bombing Qeshm Island, which is what triggered Iran’s retaliatory strikes (per the IRGC’s statement). We don’t know why the U.S. bombed Qeshm yet. That part is still murky.

Additional waves of missiles/drones

The retaliatory attack is ongoing



U.S. forces have launched several missiles from Kuwaiti territory toward Qeshm Island in Iran, and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard responded immediately to the source of the fire.

Iran also responded to the U.S. attacking an oil tanker linked to Iran by attacking an oil tanker near Dubai.

No aggression goes without a response.
 
U.S. releases statement

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces downed three Iranian one-way attack drones launched toward civilian mariners who were lawfully transiting international waters. U.S. forces also conducted “defensive strikes” on an Iranian military ground control station on Qeshm Island.



So it seems the U.S. attacked an Iranian tanker, and Iran then attacked a ship trying to covertly pass through the Strait of Hormoz without permission, and the U.S. responded by bombing a target in Qeshm island, triggering this Iranian response against US military bases in Kuwait and Bahrain

If the previous pattern holds, the U.S. will back down and not respond, and the cycle will repeat in the near future, with a stronger iranian response each time
 
BREAKING: REPORTS OF MISSILE ALERTS IN SAUDI ARABIA AND UAE

No missiles were fired at Saudi Arabia.

Iran is leading Saudi Arabia and Qatar out of this so that it has some allies on the other side.

The fact it’s left UAE also alone is surprising.

Few days later we will have reports of US troops got injured there while eating soup because it had too much salt 😆
