Following joint US-Israeli strikes against Iranian leaders, Iran launched retaliatory missile strikes targeting US interests and neighboring countries in the Gulf region. Targets included US bases in Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan, as well as the US Navy's Fifth Fleet. Gulf states, including Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and the United Arab Emirates, condemned the Iranian attacks on their territories. Qatar affirmed its right to defend itself, while Saudi Arabia expressed solidarity with affected nations. The UAE reported intercepting missiles, but also confirmed a civilian death from falling debris. Oman was notably excluded from the Iranian strikes, reportedly due to its foreign minister's mediation efforts.
