Iran Strikes US Bases in Middle East
Iran and the United States are in a big fight.
The US has been bombing Iran for seven nights in a row.
Iran responded by launching missiles and drones at US bases in Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan.
These attacks caused fires, injured people, and forced airports to close.
Iran warned that if the US keeps attacking, they will launch even bigger attacks.
The US says it has over 50,000 soldiers in the Middle East and is ready to fight.
Both sides are very angry and the situation is very tense.
Iran launched missile and drone strikes on US bases in Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan in retaliation for US strikes on Iran.
The strikes caused a fire at a power and water desalination plant in Kuwait and injured seven personnel.
Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan intercepted some of the incoming missiles, with Jordan downing ten missiles without reporting casualties or damage.
The US carried out its seventh consecutive night of strikes on Iran, targeting military infrastructure.
Iran warned of a full-scale offensive if US attacks continue, threatening to expand the war's scope and deploy additional military capabilities.
