BlockBeats reported on July 13 that military tensions across the region rose again after U.S. officials said American forces had carried out several strikes about an hour earlier on missile and air defense systems at multiple locations around the Strait of Hormuz, as well as on small boats operated by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. An official on Iran’s Qeshm Island said 10 to 11 missiles were fired at the island on Sunday afternoon local time, adding that all targets were military facilities and that no casualties were reported. Earlier, Iran said it had attacked a U.S. missile launch base in Kuwait. Facilities related to the ATACMS missile system at a U.S. military base in Kuwait were hit, with smoke seen rising from the site. Separately, Lebanon’s National News Agency, or NNA, reported that Israeli artillery launched more shelling in southern Lebanon. Two Israeli shells struck the town of Kfartebnit in the Nabatieh district, and NNA said the fire came from Israeli army positions in the occupied border area. It also reported shelling on the town of Zawtar al-Sharqiya near Mayfadoun.
