The Iranian military has carried out drone and missile strikes on Bahrain and Kuwait in response to US airstrikes on Iran, casting doubts on the current ceasefire.

Iran has issued a warning that negotiations with the US will cease completely unless the American attacks are halted.

In retaliation for previous Iranian assaults on shipping, US fighter jets conducted strikes on ten Iranian military targets in and around the Strait of Hormuz.

Tehran has targeted vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz, asserting its need for direct control over the strait’s reopening process.

A multinational maritime body, overseen by the US Navy, plans to increase traffic flow in the strait, while Iran insists on managing the traffic themselves.

Kuwait reported intercepting two ballistic missiles and Iranian drones following the US strikes, with no injuries or damage reported. Bahrain’s Interior Ministry mentioned damage to a residential building from Iranian strikes near the international airport.

The US Navy’s 5th Fleet, stationed in Bahrain, has faced repeated attacks during the conflict.

Bahrain’s Foreign Ministry condemned what it described as a dangerous escalation by Iran, highlighting a pattern of aggression against the kingdom’s sovereignty and security.

The recent strikes occurred amidst escalating tensions between the US and Iran, with the US targeting Iranian military facilities in response to earlier Iranian actions.

President Trump mentioned striking Iranian missile and drone storage sites for violating the ceasefire agreement, warning of potential further military action.

The incident follows a series of exchanges between Iran and the US, including a drone attack by Iran on a merchant vessel off the coast of Oman and subsequent US retaliatory strikes.
