Simultaneously, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps targeted U.S. military facilities at Al-Udeid air base in Qatar, a radar site in Kuwait, and logistical support centers at the Port of Duqm in Oman. Airspace and Maritime Security Kuwaiti armed forces confirmed the interception of hostile aerial targets within their sovereign airspace during the current reporting period. In maritime transit zones, the UKMTO reported that local authorities successfully rescued the crew of a vessel 9 nautical miles east of Oman. CENTCOM maintains that commercial vessels continue to transit the sea corridor despite the heightened kinetic activity. Diplomatic Activity Representatives from Qatar attended segments of ongoing discussions regarding regional security. Iran and Oman held consultations focusing on maritime traffic management and security protocols within the Strait of Hormuz.
