Iranian attacks targeted U.S. allies across the Gulf early Wednesday 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 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 five people and wounding 68. The renewed conflict raises new questions about how to end a war that 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.
