Iran attacks Jordan, Bahrain & Kuwait, defying Trump's warnings
Iran launched attacks on Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait, defying President Trump's warnings against retaliation for US strikes. The US military reported its strikes were a response to Iran's attacks on US troops and commercial shipping. Jordan intercepted 10 Iranian missiles, while Kuwait and Bahrain intercepted drone attacks. The tit-for-tat strikes risk reigniting the conflict after a period of relative calm.
The escalating conflict raises concerns about regional stability, oil prices, and the potential for a wider war, impacting global markets and international relations.
CNN's Kevin Liptak reports from the White House, Adm. James Stavridis discusses the military stalemate, David Sanger analyzes Trump's messaging and China's position in the conflict.
