Iran launched strikes on Kuwait and Bahrain on Sunday, escalating tensions across the Gulf and prompting Tehran to warn it could enforce a 'complete halt' to peace negotiations with the United States if hostilities continue, according to statements from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and Gulf state authorities.
The latest attacks come despite a fragile 60-day ceasefire framework agreed earlier this month between Washington and Tehran under a 14-point memorandum of understanding (MOU), designed to pause hostilities and reopen negotiations over Iran's nuclear programme and regional security. That agreement now appears increasingly strained, with both sides accusing the other of breaching its terms.
