Iran strikes Kuwait as Trump says renewed Mideast hostilities will not last 'too long'

BREAKING: Kuwait's army says it is confronting hostile missile and drone attacks from Iran, as Trump warns renewed Middle East hostilities will not last 'too long.'

Iran is firing missiles and drones at Kuwait right now.

Kuwait's army says its air defences are intercepting hostile targets, and it's telling residents that any explosions they hear are interceptions, not impacts. Iranian state media says the strikes are aimed at American bases inside the country. This comes a day after Iran hit Jordan and Bahrain, retaliation for what Trump himself called a very heavy attack by US forces on Tuesday.

Trump says the war won't last much longer. His words, I don't know how much more they can take. Behind the scenes, Reuters reports JD Vance and Marco Rubio are pushing to keep this conflict quiet until November's midterms, because the polling is brutal. Over two thirds of Americans disapprove of how he's handling the war.

So the White House wants this over fast. Iran just answered by widening it to a third Gulf country in a week.
