Fox News liveblog: Iran launches attacks on Kuwait and Bahrain, reports emerge from Saudi Arabia
Iran launched missiles and drones at Kuwait, according to the Kuwaiti Ministry of Defense.
Iran also attacked Bahrain and triggered air raid sirens there, according to Bahrain's Interior Ministry.
Meanwhile, reports emerged of sirens sounding in Saudi Arabia, though officials had not immediately confirmed an attack or released additional details.
The developments represent one of the broadest Iranian attacks on Gulf states since the conflict began, raising concerns about a wider regional escalation beyond Iran's direct confrontation with the United States and Israel.
Kuwait and Bahrain both host U.S. military facilities, including the headquarters of the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet in Bahrain. American officials had warned in recent days that Iran could seek to target U.S. interests and partners across the region.
Officials in Kuwait and Bahrain had not immediately released information about damage, casualties or whether incoming missiles and drones had been intercepted.
CENTCOM rejects Iranian claim of successful attacks on US bases
U.S. Central Command on Tuesday pushed back on Iranian claims that its forces successfully struck American military facilities in the Gulf.
In a post on X, CENTCOM said assertions by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps that it hit the headquarters of the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet in Bahrain and a U.S. air base elsewhere in the region were "false."
"All Iranian attacks on American forces failed," CENTCOM said.
The statement came hours after CENTCOM announced that U.S. and partner forces intercepted multiple Iranian missiles and drones launched toward regional countries, including Bahrain and Kuwait. The military also said U.S. forces carried out self-defense strikes against an Iranian military target on Qeshm Island.
U.S. forces remain "vigilant and ready to defend against unwarranted Iranian aggression," CENTCOM added.

US Treasury sanctions Iran's largest cryptocurrency exchange
The U.S. Treasury Department on Tuesday announced sanctions against Nobitex, Iran's largest cryptocurrency exchange, as part of the Trump administration's "Economic Fury" campaign targeting Tehran.
According to a Treasury Department press release, officials accuse Nobitex of helping the Iranian regime evade sanctions, facilitate transactions linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and move money through the global financial system.
Treasury said Nobitex processed more than half of all Iranian cryptocurrency inflows in 2025 and played a role in helping Iranian entities access international digital asset markets.
Treasury also sanctioned Nobitex Chairman and co-founder Amir Hossein Rad, along with several other company officials. Three additional Iranian cryptocurrency exchanges — Wallex, Bitpin and Ramzinex — were also designated.
"While Iran's economy is in free fall, the regime has chosen to co-opt digital asset technologies for its own corrupt agenda, including evading sanctions and transferring wealth out of the country," Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in the press release.

Rubio reveals what Iran would have to give up to get sanctions relief
Secretary of State Marco Rubio offered new details on the peace negotiations with Iran during his appearance before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Tuesday.
Rubio says that Iran would have to offer major concessions regarding its nuclear program in order to expect any sanctions relief from the U.S., including the physical removal of existing highly-enriched uranium.
"Everything that's been discussed with them is that any sanctions relief, now, remember...There's international sanctions, there's congressional sanctions, there's executive sanctions. So some we can release and some we cannot. But any sanctions relief is condition based, which means it has to be in return for the reason why those sanctions were put in place in the first place, which is their nuclear program," Rubio said.
"So yeah, look, Iran is being sanctioned because they enrich uranium. Iran is being sanctioned because they have highly enriched uranium. Iran is being sanctioned because of their nuclear activities. If they agree to give up those things, there will be sanctions relief associated with their commitment and compliance," he added.
Rubio lays out Trump's phase 1 and 2 demands in Iran negotiations
Secretary of State Marco Rubio laid out President Donald Trump's strategy amid peace negotiations with Iran, saying the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz is only a "prerequisite" for talks.
Rubio made the remarks during an appearance before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Tuesday, telling lawmakers that Iran must end its belligerence in the region.
"They have to announce, very clearly, the straits are now open, we're not charging a toll, we'll help remove the mines that they put in there, and they will not fire on ships," Rubio said.
"In addition to the straits, that's the predicate that opens the door to phase two. Phase two is they have to commit to very specific negotiations on highly enriched--the disposition of highly enriched uranium that still is buried deep in a mountain somewhere," he continued, adding that Iran would have to agree to long-term limitations on its nuclear program.
Gen Jack Keane: The Iranians are playing games, want to stretch conflict to midterms
Fox News senior strategic analyst Ret. Gen. Jack Keane joined Fox News' "Hannity" to discuss Iran’s strategy to delay nuclear deal negotiations.
Keane argued that the regime in Tehran is dragging their feet to reach the U.S. midterm elections, which may force President Donald Trump's administration to accept a less favorable deal.
President Donald Trump insists diplomacy with Iran remains on track after Iranian state media said Tehran suspended talks with Washington following Israeli operations in Lebanon on Tuesday. Trump is foreshadowing a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and extend a ceasefire “over the next week."
WHAT TO KNOW
