Gulf states come under Iranian fire as US strikes intensify

Iran launched strikes against several Gulf and regional countries, including Bahrain, Iraq, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Jordan, and Syria, as the US carried out a sixth consecutive night of bombings on Iran. Iranian civilian infrastructure, including telecommunications and railway networks, was targeted, killing at least seven people in Hormozgan province. Qatar elevated its security threat level after explosions in Doha, and a child was injured by shrapnel. Tehran justifies its actions by claiming it is targeting US facilities used to launch attacks on Iran.
