Kuwait and Bahrain militaries reported renewed aerial attacks from Iran, with Kuwait blaming "Iranian aggression" and explosions heard near Kuwait City. Iran stated it targeted radar systems, air defence, and fuel facilities at Kuwait's Ali al-Salem airbase, plus US military installations in Bahrain. This comes as Tehran and Washington exchange strikes in a battle for control of the vital Strait of Hormuz, a key waterway for oil and gas exports. Increased geopolitical tension in the Gulf could drive up crude oil prices, potentially boosting safe-haven gold demand and impacting Pakistan's import bill and currency stability.
