Iran launched a salvo of missiles at US allies Bahrain and Kuwait on Saturday after fresh American strikes, drawing a furious response from the Gulf monarchies and further straining a fragile truce.
US Central Command (CENTCOM) said late Friday that its forces shot down four Iranian attack drones launched toward the Strait of Hormuz, then struck Iranian coastal surveillance radar sites.
Iran's Revolutionary Guards said early Saturday they had responded by targeting 'enemy bases in the area' with missiles.
CENTCOM said Iran had launched seven ballistic missiles towards Bahrain and Kuwait, but that six had been intercepted and one had fallen short.
Bahrain, which hosts the headquarters of the US Fifth Fleet, denounced the latest attacks, the second against both nations in a matter of days, as 'blatant aggression', while Kuwait said they 'represent a dangerous escalation'.
A ceasefire in the war -- which was triggered almost 100 days ago by US and Israeli strikes -- has been in place since April 8, despite the occasional flare-ups.
