Iran fires on targets across the Middle East as Israel and the U.S. continue strikes on Tehran

Iran launched new attacks across the Middle East on Friday as Israeli and U.S. strikes continued hitting Tehran, according to Associated Press reporting on the widening conflict.

AP said Iran fired missiles and drones at targets in the region, including Kuwait’s Mina al-Ahmadi oil refinery. The report added that explosions were heard in Tehran as the war showed no sign of slowing.

Kuwait’s state news agency said the United States, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Jordan condemned Iran’s attacks on sovereign territory across the region. Israel’s foreign ministry said Iran had launched missile strikes aimed at civilians in multiple countries.

The latest round of attacks raised fresh concerns about energy infrastructure and shipping security in the Gulf. The Strait of Hormuz remains a key route for global oil supplies, and any escalation in the area can quickly affect markets beyond the region.

Reporting available Friday indicated the situation was still active, with governments continuing to assess damage and respond publicly to the new strikes.
