Bahrain, Kuwait secretly sent fighter jets to strike Iran earlier this month – report

Bahrain and Kuwait reportedly launched secret airstrikes against Iran earlier this month, targeting drone and missile storage facilities and other military sites, according to the Wall Street Journal. This marks their first direct retaliatory action against Tehran. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) reportedly provided intelligence and defensive air cover for these strikes, indicating emerging Arab cooperation against Iran. Saudi Arabia, which previously joined the UAE in strikes, is now reassessing its position, while Oman and Qatar continue to pursue a balanced policy.
