Following the US's third-round Iran strikes, reports said Iran attacked across Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Jordan and Oman, with media accounts also citing UAE as affected/targeted in the wider attack cycle. Bahrain reported missile alerts at dawn; official Qatari, Kuwaiti and Emirati notices also described defensive reactions.
