WASHINGTON \u2014 Iran launched a fresh round of attacks on Kuwait Tuesday, escalating its campaign against US allies and partners in the Persian Gulf hours after American forces carried out a 10th consecutive night of strikes inside Iran.<\/p>\n

Air raid sirens sounded across the emirate as Iranian missiles and drones targeted US-linked facilities and key infrastructure, regional sources told The Post. Kuwaiti authorities did not immediately release casualty figures or a full damage assessment.<\/p>\n

\u201cKuwaiti Air Defenses are currently responding to hostile missile and drone threats,\u201d the Kuwaiti Army said in a statement Tuesday morning. \u201cThe General Staff of the Army notes that if explosion sounds are heard, they are the result of the air defense systems intercepting the hostile attacks.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone is requested to adhere to the security and safety instructions issued by the competent authorities,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n

The attacks came after US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced it had completed its latest round of strikes against Iranian targets following the deaths of four American service members in the region over the weekend.<\/p>\n

President Trump has vowed Iran will \u201cpay many times over\u201d for the killings of US troops, and directed the Pentagon to intensify operations.<\/p>\n

Tuesday\u2019s retaliation was not limited to Kuwait.<\/p>\n

Iran also struck Bahrain and Jordan, while regional tensions mounted after renewed threats to commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and an announcement by Yemen\u2019s Houthis of a planned naval blockade targeting Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n
