US-Israel-Iran War News Live Updates: Iran fires missiles at Bahrain, Kuwait; Pak minister arrive in Tehran for peace talks

Iran launched ballistic missiles and drones targeting Bahrain and Kuwait in retaliation for US strikes, with Gulf states and the US confirming interceptions and Tehran claiming attacks on American military assets. Pakistan’s Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi arrived in Tehran to deliver a message from Pakistan Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir, continuing Islamabad’s role as a mediator, while the US considers releasing frozen Iranian assets to aid Gulf allies in reconstruction efforts.

Iran launched ballistic missiles and drones at Bahrain and Kuwait on June 7, 2026, following US strikes on Iranian surveillance infrastructure. Bahrain, Kuwait, and US officials confirmed the attacks were intercepted, while Iran stated the strikes targeted American military assets in response to alleged ceasefire violations. The escalation has prompted strong condemnation from Gulf states and raised regional security concerns. The US is assessing economic measures against Iran, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent evaluating damage to Gulf allies and exploring options to unlock frozen Iranian assets—worth billions—for reconstruction. The move aims to punish Tehran while supporting affected nations. Diplomatic efforts remain active, with Pakistan’s Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi arriving in Tehran to deliver a message from Pakistan Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir. Islamabad continues to act as a mediator between the US and Iran, following earlier talks that failed to resolve tensions. Meanwhile, the Israel-Lebanon border remains volatile. Israel’s strike on a Lebanese army patrol, killing military personnel, drew condemnation from Saudi Arabia and Qatar, which accused Israel of violating Lebanon’s sovereignty. Hezbollah claimed 22 attacks on Israeli forces in southern Lebanon over the past day, increasing risks of broader conflict. International reactions vary, with Pope Leo rejecting the US-Israel campaign against Iran as a 'just war,' while the Palestinian Authority condemned Iran’s missile strikes. Civilian impacts include restrictions on Iran’s World Cup football team, with players allowed only match-day entry to the US, and heightened security concerns around the Strait of Hormuz affecting global shipping and energy markets.
