Iran attacks Kuwait, UAE after strikes on its oil facilities

Iran launched missile and drone attacks on Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates after airstrikes against oil facilities on Iran’s Lavan island on Wednesday morning, state television reported. “Missile and drone attacks on the Emirates and Kuwait have taken place a few hours after the targeting of Lavan island oil facilities in Iran,” IRIB said in a report. State TV also quoted the National Iranian Oil Refining and Distribution Company as saying the Lavan Oil Refinery facility on the island “was subjected to a cowardly attack” at 10 am (0630 GMT). Kuwait on Wednesday reported Iranian attacks that have been ongoing from 8 am local time and damaged power and desalination plants as well as oil facilities, hours after an Iran-US truce came into effect. “Since 8:00 AM (0500 GMT) today, Kuwaiti air defenses have been engaging an intense wave of hostile Iranian attacks, dealing with 28 drones targeting the State of Kuwait,” Kuwait’s military said in a statement on X.
