Gushen Island has been fighting this battle for three months and it still isn’t over. Trump says negotiations are underway, but Tehran clearly isn’t buying it. Kuwait and Bahrain raised the alarm first, which is more credible.

The U.S. military conducted self-defense strikes on Gusham Island, shooting down multiple Iranian ballistic missiles and drones, claiming most missed and some were intercepted. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps stated that they attacked the U.S. Fifth Fleet headquarters, airbases, and other targets with missiles and drones in response to attacks on communication facilities in southern Gusham Island and oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz. The conflict has lasted for three months, with no long-term ceasefire reached. Tehran assessed the ceasefire proposal put forward by Trump, with limited communication; Trump stated that negotiations are still ongoing. Kuwait and Bahrain issued security alerts in response to escalating missile and drone threats.
