Kuwaiti authorities said an Iranian attack on 19 July set fire to facilities at a power and water plant, and the military later reported damage to a second plant after a similar attack the day before, Al Jazeera reported. Iran's army said it targeted a US ammunition depot at Camp al-Adiri and air defence radars at Ali Al Salem air base, and the IRGC said it dealt 'heavy blows' to US bases in Jordan and Kuwait. Bahrain said it thwarted missile and drone attacks, and Jordan said it shot down three of four Iranian missiles. Jordan summoned Iran's ambassador and the UAE and Qatar condemned the attacks.
