The verdict

Hit  Resolved 17 Aug 26.

On Aug 8, 2026, Iran launched missiles and drones at Bahrain, Kuwait, and Jordan (following a 13th night of U.S. strikes), with Iranian state media specifying hits on U.S. assets at Kuwait's Ali Al Salem Air Base and Jordan's Muwaffaq Salti Air Base — a confirmed, wire-reported strike on both named countries inside the two-week window.

As logged at issue

We think it's likely that Iran conducts at least one more direct strike attempt on Jordanian or Kuwaiti territory within two weeks, since Thursday's missile launch at Jordan and the Kuwait building strike show Tehran is now willing to hit hosts previously spared, not just Gulf states already absorbing strikes.
