Iran retaliates against strikes on Qeshm with missiles on US bases in the Gulf

On the night of June 5–6, 2026, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Aerospace Force launched ballistic missiles at two US military bases in Kuwait and installations in Bahrain, retaliating against US strikes on radar sites at Goruk and Qeshm Island. The US claimed to have intercepted most missiles. Kuwait condemned the attacks, while CENTCOM justified its strikes as self-defense against Iranian drones threatening maritime traffic. The April 2026 ceasefire remains fragile, and peace talks in Pakistan have stalled, with the US naval blockade a key sticking point.
