Sirens are sounding across the Gulf region as the pace of Iranian attacks appears to be ticking up. Kuwait and Bahrain say they are currently dealing with multiple missile and drone attacks in their airspace from Iran. Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan came under attack on Tuesday morning from Iran. In the last few hours, details have emerged of three vessels attacked on Monday night by cruise missiles from Iran.
The Oman Security Maritime Centre says three crew members are still missing from the Al Bahyah vessel, an Emirati owned ship. From the Mombasa B vessel, one person was killed and eight others injured. Gulf leaders continue to condemn what they call Iran's aggression, saying it is a blatant violation of their sovereignty and a breach of international law.
Jordan's Defence Ministry reiterated that the country will not become a battlefield and that US forces hosted in Jordan are not taking part in any attacks on Iran. Oman's foreign minister said the region is being dragged into a war it did not ask to be part of and that the region is "wounded".
