Iran's war spills into the Gulf: Kuwait and Bahrain hit as US strikes Qeshm
The US-Israel war on Iran widened into the Gulf, with attacks blamed on Iran damaging airports in Kuwait and Bahrain while the US struck Iran's Qeshm island. Each side blames the other for the dangerous escalation.
The summary above is a neutral framing. Below, each side reports the same story in its own words — judge for yourself.
Western coverage centres on Iranian drones setting Kuwait's main airport ablaze and striking Bahrain, drawing Gulf-wide condemnation, and casts the attacks as reckless aggression against neutral neighbours during a fragile US-Iran ceasefire.
Al Jazeera foregrounds fresh US strikes on Iran's Qeshm island and frames Tehran's actions as retaliation within a war the US and Israel started, stressing Iran's stance that a violation 'on any front' breaks the entire ceasefire.
