Iran attacks Bahrain, Kuwait after US bombings as Hormuz tensions escalate

Air raid sirens sounded across Bahrain and Kuwait after Iran announced it had struck "85 US military installations" in retaliation for attacks on Hormozgan province and the port city of Mahshahr. Washington said it carried out "powerful strikes" on Iranian targets following attacks on three vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz, including oil tankers from Qatar and Saudi Arabia. The US also withdrew a sanctions waiver that had permitted Iran to continue limited oil sales under the interim peace agreement reached between Washington and Tehran on June 17. Meanwhile, the coffin of Iran's slain supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was taken to the Iraqi city of Najaf, where funeral processions are set to take place.
