Iran fires missiles at Jordan, Kuwait, and Bahrain
Iran has launched a simultaneous attack on Jordan, Kuwait, and Bahrain, widening the conflict beyond direct US-Iran exchanges.
The attack draws multiple Gulf states into active defense postures and raises the risk of further escalation.
Kuwait and Bahrain are significant in regional oil and gas logistics, and any strike on infrastructure would compound existing Hormuz-related supply concerns.
Markets are likely to read this as evidence the conflict is broadening, supporting continued strength in oil prices and safe-haven assets.
