The United States launched airstrikes against Iran in retaliation for the deaths of soldiers due to Iranian missile attacks. The United States attacked Iranian military facilities for 5 hours and 30 minutes, and Iran carried out a suicide drone attack on a US military base in Kuwait as a counterattack. Iran's supreme leader said that the United States repeatedly violated the armistice agreement and called the United States a "great evil," strongly arguing for the reoccurrence of war. In addition, a drone attack occurred at a Kurdish militia base in Iraq, injuring several people.
