By Jana Choukeir and Eman Abouhassira DUBAI, July 18 (Reuters) - Iran launched more attacks on Washington's Gulf allies and Jordan on Saturday after a seventh straight night of U.S. strikes on Iranian military targets, escalating the war one week after a ceasefire collapsed. Kuwait came under sustained attack, with a desalination plant hit and operations at Kuwait International Airport suspended due to repeated missile and drone threats.
