Iran launched a ballistic missile at a U.S. military base in Kuwait in response to limited, surgical U.S. strikes on Iranian targets.

The launch was confirmed by both Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps-linked accounts and U.S. Central Command, the latter of which said the missile was intercepted by Kuwaiti forces. Each party pointed fingers over who began the exchange of fire, which occurred as the war had been on the brink of either reigniting or concluding with a negotiated deal.
