Explosions in Qatar too.

Air defence is active over Qatar right now as Iran launches another wave of attacks.

Air defence is active in Kuwait. Likely targeting Iranian drones before they enter Kuwaiti airspace.

I think it's safe to say that this is the largest escalation since the beginning of the so-called memorandum of understanding.

The U.S. carried out over 140 airstrikes on Iran, while Iran launched dozens of ballistic missiles and drones towards targets in Jordan, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman and possibly the UAE, while striking a second vessel in the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran is proving to the U.S. that it will not back down in the face of American escalation, and furthermore, will escalate in kind by launching much larger attacks than last time.

Even if, hypothetically, every single Iranian missile and drone was shot down, the message remains the same, and U.S. interceptor missile stockpiles continue to be drained. The threat of escalation is Iran's biggest advantage, especially as Trump continues to wage this prolonged and incredibly unpopular quagmire of a war that cannot be won, and continues to humiliate the U.S. and Israel on the world stage.

The next level of escalation for Iran is pre-emptive strikes. Because they know that the U.S. will attack Iran again in the future with essentially 100% certainty, I would not be surprised if we see some sort of attack ahead of an expected U.S. strike as a show of force.
