"The new event explicitly mentions 'strikes on... Kuwait' as part of the ongoing military escalations occurring simultaneously with diplomatic talks.

"The new event marks a direct exchange of strikes between the US and Iran, escalating the conflict beyond the IRGC's previous claims of striking US drone facilities in Kuwait. The involvement of Saudi Arabia and the geographic expansion to Egypt further confirms this escalation trend."
