On the fourth day of the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard declared an extension of its military operations in the Gulf region. They stated that they have utilized more advanced missile systems and drones to target positions deep within Israeli territory, asserting their commitment to confront adversarial forces decisively, regardless of their location. As tensions surged, Iranian forces claimed to have executed their fifteenth wave of strikes against U.S. military targets in the region.

In response to these Iranian actions, the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) issued a strong condemnation, characterizing the attacks as reflective of 'malicious intentions.' GCC Secretary General Jasem Mohamed al-Budaiwi indicated that these strikes were aimed at civilian and diplomatic facilities, specifically mentioning the U.S. embassy in both Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, alongside various civilian installations across the UAE, Bahrain, Oman, and Qatar. This assertion underscores the heightened regional tensions and the risk of further escalation.

Furthermore, on the same day, reports from Al Jazeera's correspondent in Doha highlighted the interception efforts by Qatari air defense systems that successfully engaged several targets. The Qatari Foreign Ministry previously denounced the attacks, emphasizing their uncompromising stance against any aggression directed at their sovereign territory, particularly regarding the attempted assault on Hamad International Airport. The developments underscore the increasing fragility of security in the Gulf amidst the broader conflict, prompting calls for enhanced regional cooperation to address potential threats.
