Tehran targets Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan after U.S. strikes Iranian assets

TL;DR

U.S. forces launched strikes against Iran in retaliation for the downing of a U.S. Army Apache helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz.
The U.S. strikes targeted Iranian air defense, ground control stations, and surveillance radar sites.
In response, Iran targeted several Gulf countries, with Jordan reporting interception of five Iranian missiles, and Bahrain and Kuwait activating air defenses against hostile aerial targets.
President Donald Trump ordered the strikes and stated the U.S. had to respond to the attack on its helicopter.
The U.S. Central Command stated the strikes were a proportional response to unjustified Iranian aggression.
Iran has not directly claimed responsibility for shooting down the helicopter, with state media reporting no offensive military operations in the strait.
Iranian officials suggested foreign forces in the region were at risk and should leave, while also indicating a preference for diplomacy but readiness to use other 'languages'.
The incident occurs amidst claims by President Trump that a significant deal with Iran could be reached soon, which would prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
