Coordinated drone and missile strikes have hit targets in Kuwait and Bahrain, jeopardizing the U.S.-brokered ceasefire with Iran.

Officials have yet to definitively attribute the strikes, leaving the origin of the munitions uncertain. Should the ceasefire collapse, the incident could force a wider shift in military posture across the Middle East.
