"Within 36 hours, the regime had hit every member of the Gulf Cooperation Council, a group of Arab states close to the U.S., including at multiple international airports and at least three active ports, crippling international travel and disrupting oil shipments. The strikes also tore through residential towers, luxury hotels and roads."
"Although Iran has insisted its retaliatory strikes are aimed at U.S. military facilities in the region, the attacks appear to have targeted civilian and economic infrastructure in the gulf, alongside military installations, according to videos verified by The Washington Post and state and local media reports."
"Flights across the region came to a standstill Sunday after Iranian munitions struck at least four airports, including one of the world's busiest, in Dubai. Bahrain International Airport sustained minimal damage from a drone attack Sunday. Airports in both Kuwait and the capital of Iraq's Kurdistan region, Irbil, were also hit."
Iran intensified retaliatory strikes against American allies in the Persian Gulf and Israel, attacking sites across at least nine countries within 36 hours. The regime targeted every member of the Gulf Cooperation Council, striking multiple international airports, active ports, residential towers, luxury hotels, and roads. Despite Iranian claims that strikes aimed at U.S. military facilities, verified videos and media reports indicate attacks on civilian and economic infrastructure alongside military installations. Regional airports including Dubai's major hub came to a standstill. Shipping infrastructure sustained significant damage, with Jebel Ali Port suspending operations. At least three U.S. service members died. Iran reported 201 deaths from U.S. and Israeli strikes, with claims of over 100 children killed at a girls' school.
