Iran reportedly intensifies missile and drone strikes on US Gulf bases; China and Russia involvement alleged, per WION analysis

Iran has intensified missile and drone strikes targeting US military installations across the Persian Gulf, including bases in Kuwait and Bahrain, according to WION reporting. The analysis argues that China and Russia may be providing behind-the-scenes support to Iran's military operations, potentially reshaping regional geopolitical alignment. According to the source, Iran's new missile tactics have challenged US air defense systems. The alleged coordination between Iran, Russia, and China raises questions about whether a new strategic axis is forming to counter US military presence in the Middle East.
