Where are the air defenses? That was the big question as Iranian missiles and drones rained down in Kuwait and Bahrain, targeting U.S. bases. Tehran said the attacks were in retaliation for U.S. attacks on an Iranian oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz and a telecommunications tower on Qeshm Island.
Laith Marouf, a Beirut-based journalist and executive director of Free Palestine TV, noted that this recent attack, along with Iran’s threats to attack Israel if it acted on Netanyahu’s orders to bomb the suburbs of Beirut, is a reminder that Iran is standing up to U.S. and Israeli aggression and is demanding peace for the entire region.
