Episode Details

As the U.S. concluded its strikes on Iran, a fresh wave of mysterious airstrikes hit southern Iran—just days before Iran’s late Supreme Leader was to be laid to rest. While Tehran hasn’t named a culprit, a lawmaker blamed the UAE for aiding the U.S. campaign. The U.S. had previously hit 90 targets, and shortly after, Iranian media reported explosions across multiple provinces. The U.S. Central Command remains silent on these new strikes. In retaliation, Iran launched missiles at Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, and Qatar, injuring one person in Kuwait. The UAE’s foreign minister rushed to Kuwait, while Gulf nations coordinated with Qatar’s foreign minister, who’s mediating Iran-U.S. talks. Israel, also involved, hasn’t claimed recent attacks but its defense minister warned it’s ready to escalate against Iran if needed. Tensions remain high as Iran insists on controlling the Strait of Hormuz, while the U.S. and a multinational maritime body urge ships to use the safer southern Omani route.
