Iran maintains a substantial stockpile of short and medium-range ballistic missiles capable of striking targets across the Middle East and reaching parts of Europe.
Key US military installations in the region, including the Navy’s Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain, Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar and Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait, are within range and could be potential targets in any retaliation.
The Strait of Hormuz remains a strategic flashpoint, with any disruption threatening global energy supplies, while Iran-backed Houthi forces in Yemen could also play a role in widening the conflict.
The situation unfolds amid ongoing tensions over Iran’s nuclear program and recent US strikes on Iranian facilities, further heightening instability across the region.
