Irán lanza misiles balísticos contra estados del Golfo aliados de EE.UU.
Read, Watch or Listen
Iran launched seven ballistic missiles toward the U.S.-allied Gulf states of Kuwait and Bahrain early Saturday, in what U.S. military officials described as a major escalation in the conflict involving American forces in the region. U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said defensive systems intercepted six of the missiles, while the seventh failed to hit its intended target. The attack followed a separate series of engagements hours earlier, when U.S. forces shot down four Iranian one-way attack drones that CENTCOM said were threatening maritime traffic near the Strait of Hormuz, a key corridor for global energy shipments. Iran, according to CENTCOM, then faced U.S. strikes on Iranian coastal surveillance radar sites in Goruk and on Qeshm Island, actions the United States described as intended to preempt further aggression. Bahrain’s Foreign Ministry condemned the missile launches as a “blatant aggression” and a “flagrant violation” of the sovereignty of both Bahrain and Kuwait. The two Gulf states host major U.S. military facilities, including the U.S. Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain, underscoring their role as central hubs for the American military presence in the Middle East as tensions rise around a fragile and still-uncertain ceasefire process.

The Bottom Line
El lanzamiento de misiles de Irán es una seria escalada en una región volátil. Las fuerzas estadounidenses están involucradas, pero hasta ahora, los sistemas defensivos están funcionando.
