Kuwait closed its airspace and said two power and desalination plants were hit by Iranian attacks on 18 July, wounding several firefighters, Al Jazeera reported. Jordan said it intercepted 10 Iranian ballistic missiles, and Bahrain sounded sirens. The IRGC said it targeted a US fuel pier at Kuwait's al-Ahmadi port, a US warplane assembly site at Bahrain's Sheikh Isa Air Base and a US base at Azraq in Jordan, and claimed two US fighter jets were destroyed; those claims were not verified. The head of the Gulf Cooperation Council called Iran's attacks on Jordan, Kuwait and Bahrain a 'war crime' against civilian infrastructure.
