Iran fired missiles at U.S.

forces in Kuwait and Bahrain.

Kuwait says drones then hit its airport, wounding several people.

Iran's Revolutionary Guard says the attacks last night were in response to U.S.

strikes on its Qishim Island near the Strait of Hormuz.

The Guard says it targeted the U.S.

Navy's 5th Fleet in Bahrain and air bases in Kuwait, causing damage.

U.S.

Central Command says Iran's attacks failed to hit their target.

CENTCOM also says its attacks on a military ground control station on Klisham Island were, quote, self-defense strikes in response to attempted attacks by Iran across the region without specifying further.

Meanwhile, President Trump said the U.S.

and Iran continue to exchange messages on a deal to end the war.

Abu Dhabi says fallen debris from an interception sparked a fire at its Hapshan gas facility on Friday, forcing the suspension of operations at what is one of the world's largest gas processing plants.

The UAE says Iran has launched more than 2,000 drones and more than 470 missiles at it since the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran began five weeks ago.

Most have been intercepted.

Meanwhile, the Gulf Arab state of Bahrain has proposed a resolution to the UN Security Council that would authorize countries to take, quote, defensive measures to secure the passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz.

But any measure that appears to authorize the use of force in the strait is likely to face vetoes, including by Russia and China.

A fifth of the world's oil and gas flows through the strait, but Iran has effectively closed it in response to the war.
