00:07They said the ceasefire was holding. It wasn't. Tonight, U.S. forces just launched what analysts
00:14are calling Wave 2. And this time, the missiles didn't come from carriers in the Gulf. They
00:19came from Kuwait. Multiple ballistic missiles, ATACMS, and the newer Precision Strike Missile,
00:25or PRSM, were fired from U.S. positions inside Kuwait, arcing across the border straight into
00:32southwestern Iran. Eyewitness videos flooding social media show salvo after salvo streaking
00:38through the night sky, smoke plumes, fireballs, and residents in Kuwait watching their own soil
00:44become a launch pad for a war next door. The primary target, Abadan, in Kuzestan Province.
00:51This isn't some remote outpost. Abadan is one of Iran's most important oil refining and industrial
00:57hubs, sitting right on the Iraq border. Local reports describe fires burning near military-linked
01:03facilities after the strikes hit. For a region already running on fumes economically, this is
01:09a direct hit to Iran's energy backbone. But Abadan wasn't alone. Far to the south, explosions rocked
01:16Kish Island, some Iranian outlets reporting up to six blasts on this small but strategically massive
01:22island in the Persian Gulf. Kish sits near vital shipping lanes and functions as a free economic
01:28zone. Hitting it sends a message, nowhere on the water is safe. Then came Boucher, a name that makes
01:35energy analysts nervous because it's home to Iran's only commercial nuclear power plant. Explosions were
01:41reported near the port city. Air defenses lit up the sky trying to intercept incoming threats,
01:47and the question on everyone's mind, how close did this get to nuclear infrastructure?
01:52And finally, Bandar Abbas, arguably the crown jewel target. This is Iran's most critical southern port,
02:00a naval base sitting right on the Strait of Hormuz. U.S. Central Command has made no secret of its
02:06goal,
02:06degrade Iran's ability to threaten commercial shipping through that strait. Strikes here focused
02:12on military assets, coastal surveillance, and maritime capability. Here's the bigger picture.
02:18The Strait of Hormuz carries a massive share of the world's oil. Every strike near it sends shockwaves
02:25through energy markets, tanker insurance, and global shipping routes. Iran's IRGC has vowed retaliation,
02:31and it's not an empty threat. Kuwait's own bases like Camp Arifjan and Ali Saleem Air Base have
02:38already come under drone and missile fire, sirens, interceptions, a region bracing for what comes next.
02:44This is no longer series of isolated flare-ups. This is a pattern, near-nightly exchanges,
02:51expanding targets, and a strait that the entire global economy depends on. Wave 2 just landed. The
02:59question is, what does Iran send back?
