Iranian barrages target Israel and Gulf countries as US warns Iran of most intense day of strikes03/10/2026DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran has fired more drones and missiles at Israel and Gulf Arab countries as it keeps up pressure on the Middle East.

The Saudi Defense Ministry said on Tuesday that it has destroyed two drones over the kingdom’s oil-rich eastern region, while in Kuwait, the National Guard said it shot down six drones attacking the country’s northern and southern areas.
