Iran Expands Gulf Strikes Amid Intensified US Economic Pressure and Reports of Civilian Casualties

Iran has reportedly widened its attacks on US-linked targets in the Gulf, striking bases in Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates with missiles and drones. This escalation coincides with a new US economic campaign against Tehran, aimed at tightening sanctions and disrupting traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. Reports also indicate a US strike hit a wedding in Iran, killing civilians, which the US is investigating. Russia has pledged support to Iran against US sanctions.
