DUBAI, July 23: Here are the latest main events related to the war in the Middle East.
Iran hits US equipment in Jordan
Iran's Revolutionary Guards said that they had attacked and destroyed several American military assets in Jordan, including a radar for the US THAAD missile defence system, a Patriot system, a C-RAM radar and a helicopter hangar.
Iran strikes US bases in Kuwait
Iran's army and its Revolutionary Guards in separate statements claimed attacks on several US bases in Kuwait, including the Ali Al Salem base, Camp Udairi, Camp Doha, Camp Arifjan and a telecommunications tower.
Saudi tanker hit in Red Sea
US-Iran strikes: latest developments
A vessel belonging to a Saudi company was hit while transiting the Red Sea, Saudi state media reported, citing an official source, after Yemen's Tehran-backed Houthi rebels claimed it struck tankers in the waterway.
The Houthis had threatened to blockade Saudi ports on the Red Sea -- a key route for oil shipments -- while the five-month war had already led to the effective closure of the vital Strait of Hormuz.
US strikes more Iranian targets
The United States launched strikes against Iranian military targets for a 12th consecutive night, US Central Command announced Wednesday.
Iran state media reported early Thursday Tehran time that the cities of Ramshir and Ahvaz, in the country's southwest, were under "missile attack by the US terrorist enemy," while authorities in Bushehr province, along Iran's Gulf coast, reported an attack there by a US missile.
US-Saudi nuclear deal
The United States said it had reached a civilian nuclear cooperation deal with Saudi Arabia, a landmark agreement that would establish a civilian nuclear programme in the Gulf country, with Washington insisting it includes safeguards against nuclear proliferation.
"Together, these two agreements lay the legal foundation for a decades-long, multi-billion-dollar partnership that advances several priority economic and strategic objectives, including nuclear nonproliferation," the US Energy Department said in a statement.
Kuwait intercepts drones
Kuwait's army said early Thursday it was intercepting hostile drones, following several days of Iranian strikes on the country.
"Kuwaiti air defenses are currently responding to hostile drone threats," the army said in an overnight message on X. "Any explosions that may be heard are the result of air defense systems intercepting hostile targets."
Iran warns 'eye for an eye'
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Iran would respond in kind to any attack on its infrastructure, after Washington threatened to bomb a bridge or power plant for every ship targeted in the Strait of Hormuz.
"Our defence doctrine is clear: eye for an eye. Any aggression against Iran, including our infrastructure, will compel a powerful and decisive response," Araghchi said on X.
Trump threatens payback
Trump threatened to knock out one Iranian bridge or power plant in return for each attack on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, warning he was "not finished" with a war that has already cost Washington $37.5 billion.
"Any time the Islamic Republic of Iran shoots at a ship in the Strait of Hormuz, whether it be by Missile, Rocket, Drone, or any other device or weapon, the United States will bomb and destroy ONE BRIDGE OR POWER PLANT," Trump wrote Wednesday on social media on a day he attended the return of four more US service members killed in the war.
