WorldIran expands attacks on Gulf states after intense US strikes

Iran said strikes hit two of its southern islands on Sunday evening. Kuwait, where Tehran has repeatedly targeted US installations, reported attacks on border posts and an offshore oil platform. No one has claimed responsibility for the strikes so far. They came hours after Tehran and Washington issued conflicting statements about whether the vital Strait of Hormuz remained open to traffic.
