Iran Launches 4,382 Missile and Drone Attacks Across 7 Arab States Since 28 February
By Bosphorus News Geopolitics Desk
Iran has carried out at least 4,382 missile and drone attacks on US bases and critical sites across seven Arab countries since 28 February, according to figures reported by TRT Haber, underscoring the scale and geographic spread of the conflict across the Gulf.
The campaign now extends well beyond direct exchanges between Iran, the United States and Israel. It is also unfolding through sustained pressure on the wider Gulf security and energy landscape, with repeated strikes and attempted strikes reported across Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain.
The impact is no longer limited to military targets. International reporting indicates that recent attacks have disrupted refinery operations, damaged energy infrastructure and increased volatility in global oil and gas markets. Bahrain has declared force majeure at its Sitra refinery, while Qatar’s Ras Laffan complex, one of the world’s most important liquefied natural gas hubs, has experienced operational disruption affecting part of its export capacity.
Kuwait has also been hit more than once. Drone strikes have targeted the Mina al-Ahmadi refinery, triggering fires in operational units, even as no immediate casualties were reported. The repeated targeting of the same site points to a pattern of sustained pressure rather than isolated incidents.
The pace of attacks is also rising. The latest figure of 4,382 follows a previous reported total of 4,192, indicating an increase of at least 190 additional strikes within roughly a day. The upward trajectory suggests the campaign is still intensifying rather than stabilizing.
Around 20 percent of global oil flows normally pass through the Strait of Hormuz. Continued strikes on Gulf energy infrastructure, combined with pressure on maritime routes, are deepening the economic consequences of the conflict alongside its military dimension.
Governments across the Gulf have condemned the attacks and strengthened defensive measures, but have not signalled a move toward direct military entry into the war. The exposure is immediate and material. The response remains cautious.
