Iranian attacks have targeted U.S. allies across the Gulf as renewed fighting with the United States ended a monthlong lull. An Iranian drone sparked a fire at a residential complex in Kuwait City without causing casualties, while Bahrain intercepted incoming drones. Other attacks overnight and into Wednesday targeted Jordan, the United Arab Emirates and Iraq’s Kurdish region. The escalation followed U.S. strikes on Iran, including one that Iranian officials say hit a wedding party, killing at least four people and wounding 68. The six-month war has led to a spike in oil prices, roiled the global economy and is posing increasing political problems for President Donald Trump’s Republican Party ahead of November midterm elections.
