Iranian Missile Intercepted Over Lebanese Airspace

Middle Eastern outlets stress that Iran is striking what it calls US‑linked or Israeli‑linked sites across the Gulf, pulling Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain into the confrontation. They point to missile interceptions over Lebanon, a country without its own air defense, as evidence that outside militaries are operating in its skies. They expect more regional involvement and possible pressure from Arab governments for de‑escalation if attacks near their territory continue.
