DUBAI/WASHINGTON: Hostilities in the Gulf erupted anew on Wednesday with a report of missile attacks on Kuwait, while little progress was evident in diplomatic talks between Iran and the United States.
Kuwait's army said its air defenses were intercepting hostile missile and drone attacks, while Bahrain said a warning siren had been sounded and urged residents to go to the nearest safe space. The United States said it shot at a tanker headed toward Iran. Iran's news agency reported that explosions were heard near Qeshm Island, which sits near the contested Strait of Hormuz.
