At dawn Wednesday June 3 Iran fired ballistic missiles and drones at US bases in Kuwait and Bahrain and at a vessel near the Strait of Hormuz. The attack killed one person and caused significant damage to Kuwait International Airport (the Terminal 1 passenger building), which suspended flights. The US military said it "successfully defeated" the attacks - two missiles fired at Kuwait fell short or broke apart en route and three at Bahrain were intercepted - and carried out self-defense strikes on Iran's Qeshm Island after a US missile disabled a Botswana-flagged tanker heading to an Iranian port. A direct kinetic escalation to attacks on Gulf states while the memorandum sits unsigned.
