Iran also fired missiles at Israel and some Gulf nations while explosions were heard in Tehran and the central Iranian city of Isfahan on Friday, as the US prepared to further reinforce its already significant military forces in the West Asia.

Meanwhile, AP reported that Iranian drones targeted Kuwait’s Mina al-Ahmadi oil refinery on Friday, triggering fires at the facility. State-run Kuwait Petroleum Corp. confirmed the attack, saying firefighting teams were deployed to bring the blaze under control. The company added that no injuries were reported.
