U.S. 5th Fleet HQ is in Bahrain (NSA Bahrain.)

US Army Central Forward HQ is just south of Kuwait City (Camp Arifjan.)

Those are only "some" of the targets hit. Kuwait International Airport was heavily struck by Iranian drones on June 3, 2026. The attack resulted in the death of one person (an Indian national) and injured over 60 others, causing extensive damage to Terminal 1.

Residents of French village say US defense chief Hegseth not welcome for D-Day visit
France
US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Saturday marked the 82nd anniversary of the World War II D-Day landings with a visit to Normandy, but did not attend the international ceremony hosted in Langrune-sur-Mer. Residents said his "warlike views" were unwelcome in their village and questioned his commitment to "democratic values".

Didn't know where you put this ... But interesting and a reaction and reflection of things like this illegal war of choice.

The US military is heavily using KWI. They have a dedicated terminal dubbed "Cargo City." Cargo City is operated by the U.S. Air Force's 387th Air Expeditionary Group and serviced by the 5th Expeditionary Air Mobility Squadron.

And the Hotel they hit Dubai? Come on man.

Since the outbreak of the regional conflict, Iran and its aligned networks have targeted critical civilian infrastructure, energy networks, and commercial assets across the Middle East. Major non-military targets hit include;

Energy & Petrochemical Infrastructure: Iranian and proxy strikes (via drones and missiles) have severely impacted major oil refineries, liquid natural gas (LNG) plants, and export terminals in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Qatar. Debris and attacks also forced the shutdown of the Habshan gas complex and disrupted the Fujairah export terminal in the UAE. In Bahrain, strikes on the Sitra oil refinery caused disruptions leading to a declaration of force majeure.

Communications & Utility Hubs: Satellite imagery has documented severe damage to satellite communication sites, such as the long-range AN/FPS-132 early-warning radar in Qatar, and power plants at U.S. installations like Camp Buehring in Kuwait, which also provide broader civilian grid utility.

Maritime & Shipping Targets: Civilian commercial vessels, including foreign-flagged ships, have been repeatedly struck or harassed in the Red Sea, the Persian Gulf, and the Gulf of Oman, heavily disrupting regional supply chains.

Urban & Civilian Centers: Drone and ballistic missile barrages have penetrated civilian areas in both Israel and neighboring Gulf countries. In exchanges with Israel, both sides have repeatedly struck petrochemical plants, most notably targeting the Haifa petrochemical facilities.

You're going to need a whole list of excuses.

A quick recap of the week-end......

First Thing: Netanyahu orders Iran strikes despite Trump claiming ‘I call all the shots’

Direct exchange of fire between warring nations in apparent defiance of Trump was in response to an Israeli attack on Beirut, and breaks April’s ceasefire.

It's hard to claim you're calling the shots when Netanyahu isn't listening to thing you tell him.

Finally this morning a somewhat tenative agreement full of stipulations has at least temporarily stopped the exchange between Israel and Iran is beginning to surface.

What to know about the Iran war today:

Iran's military said Monday that it had halted operations following a dramatic exchange of fire with Israel that has tested an incredibly fragile truce between Tehran and Washington.

President Trump told Israel and Iran to "immediately stop 'shooting'" at each other and said both sides were seeking an "immediate ceasefire" after the weekend flare-up that began with Israeli airstrikes on Lebanon's capital Beirut.

Yemen's Houthi rebels said Monday they were banning Israeli vessels from the key shipping lanes of the Red Sea. The Iranian-backed group appears to be engaging more directly in the war, also announcing a missile attack on Israel.

Blocking Israeli ships from shipping lanes in the Red Sea may give rise to even further conflict.
