Iran War Quiz 2026: Day 90 Update — Kuwait, the Unsigned Deal, and $97 Oil

# Iran War Quiz 2026: Day 90 Update — Kuwait, the Unsigned Deal, and $97 Oil

> **Quick answer:** As of Day 90 (May 29, 2026), the Iran war is in a critical negotiation window: US and Iranian negotiators have agreed on a 60-day memorandum of understanding to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, but Trump has not signed it. The IRGC launched ballistic missiles at Kuwait overnight, which were intercepted. Oil is trading around $97 — down 10% from mid-May, but not at pre-war levels.

Day 90 of the most consequential Middle East conflict in a generation arrived with missiles over Kuwait, a peace deal sitting unsigned on Trump's desk, and oil markets pricing the outcome in real time. If you've been following — or trying to follow — here's the complete context, and a 12-question quiz to find out exactly how much of it stuck.

## What Actually Happened on Day 90: The IRGC Kuwait Strike

In the early hours of May 29, 2026, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps launched a wave of ballistic missiles and drones at Kuwait. The Kuwaiti Army confirmed its air defense systems were "responding to hostile missile and drone threats." Kuwait intercepted the attack successfully.

The IRGC's stated justification was retaliation for US strikes on Bandar Abbas, Iran — framing it explicitly as a response to military action conducted from or through Kuwaiti territory. This is a recurring pattern in the post-ceasefire period: the IRGC operating on a parallel track to formal negotiations, conducting tactical strikes that stop short of war resumption but maintain pressure and leverage.
