US bombs Iranian military sites and Kuwait is hit by drone and missile fire

The U.S. bombed radar and drone sites in Iran after Tehran shot down an American drone, sharply escalating military tensions in the Gulf. Iran said it launched a retaliatory strike, and Kuwait reported incoming fire, raising the risk of broader regional conflict. The event is a high-impact geopolitical shock with potential spillovers into energy prices, defense assets, and broader risk sentiment.
