Several Kuwaiti firefighters were wounded while responding to a fire started by the strikes, the firefighting force said.<\/p>\n<p>Air raid sirens also sounded repeatedly in Bahrain, where authorities urged residents to seek shelter.<\/p>\n<p>In Jordan, authorities said they intercepted 10 Iranian ballistic missiles.<\/p>\n<p>Iran\u2019s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said its naval forces targeted a US military fuel pier at Kuwait\u2019s al-Ahmadi port and a US warplane assembly site at Bahrain\u2019s Sheikh Isa Air Base. The IRGC also said it attacked a US base in Azraq in Jordan and destroyed two US fighter jets.<\/p>\n<p>The Iranian attacks came after CENTCOM announced it had carried out another wave of overnight strikes targeting \u201csurveillance sites, military logistics infrastructure, underground weapons storage and maritime capabilities\u201d in Iran.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mou-over\">MoU \u2018over\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>US President Donald Trump declared at the NATO summit in Ankara 10 days ago that the MoU signed in mid-June by Washington and Tehran <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/video\/newsfeed\/2026\/7\/8\/trump-says-mou-over-after-latest-us-and-iranian-attacks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">was \u201cover\u201d,<\/a> following Iranian attacks on tankers near the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n<p>He reimposed a naval blockade on Iranian ports and revoked a sanctions waiver on Iranian oil exports.<\/p>\n<p>Iran insists that under the interim peace deal agreed with the US, it has the right to control shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and dictate which routes ships should take when transiting the vital channel for global energy exports.<\/p>\n<p>Trump says the strait must be open to all traffic \u2013 but the US Navy is again blockading Iranian vessels.<\/p>\n<p>Trump is in a rush to reduce oil and gas prices ahead of crucial midterm elections in November.
