Bahrain and Kuwait secretly sent fighter jets to attack targets in Iran, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal. It was further reported that this marks the first direct retaliatory action of its kind by them against Tehran, and according to sources involved in the details, the strike "reflects the complex situation in which Arab states find themselves as the war continues." According to the report, the strikes took place at the beginning of the month and were directed against, among other things, drone warehouses, missiles and additional military facilities. Spokesmen for the governments of Kuwait and Bahrain did not respond to the report.
