Iran Hit by Bahrain and Kuwait Fighter Jets as Trump Grows Impatient Over Prolonged War

Bahrain and Kuwait carried out covert fighter‑jet strikes on Iranian military sites, hitting drone and missile storage facilities. The attacks, described as the first direct retaliation by the two Gulf states, were reportedly supported by Emirati intelligence and air‑defence cover. The moves reflect escalating tension in the Gulf, where Saudi‑backed Arab governments are confronting Iran's prolonged campaign.

At the same time, United States President Donald Trump is said to be losing patience with the war against Iran, now in its fifth month. U.S. officials note rising casualties, higher oil prices and growing political pressure ahead of the mid‑term elections, with some advisers warning that the conflict could damage Trump’s re‑election prospects and fracture his conservative coalition.
