"Iran resumed attacks on US allies in the Gulf on Saturday, following a seventh consecutive night of US airstrikes on Iranian military facilities, including logistical infrastructure. Kuwait was a primary target: a desalination plant was hit and the international airport suspended operations due to repeated missile and drone threats. Iran's Revolutionary Guards claimed attacks on a US military support center at Camp Arifjan and the destruction of a radar at Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait. Targets in Bahrain were also reported. Tensions have spread to maritime traffic, with the US imposing a naval blockade and Iran attacking vessels violating its navigation rules in the Strait of Hormuz, a chokepoint for one-fifth of global oil. Oil prices rose over 4% on Friday to the highest level in over a month."
