Iran on Sunday launched drone and missile attacks targeting Bahrain and Kuwait, two key U.S. allies in the Persian Gulf. Iran s attacks came after U.S. forces conducted additional strikes against multiple Iranian targets in response to an attack against a Panama-flagged tanker near the Strait of Hormuz. Iran also threatened a complete halt in talks to fully end the war if Washington continues its own attacks.
The news comes after Rep. Julia Letlow (R-La.), buoyed by President Trump s endorsement, defeated Louisiana State Treasurer John Fleming in the GOP runoff for Sen. Bill Cassidy s (R-La.) seat on Saturday night, according to a projection by Decision Desk HQ.
