Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said earlier on Saturday that it had targeted several sites of the “US terrorist army in the region”, without specifying where. Bahrain, which hosts the U.S. Navy’s Fifth Fleet, said it was attacked by a number of Iranian drones and condemned the latest strikes as a blatant violation of its sovereignty.

The tit-for-tat strikes marked the first incident of violence between the US and Iran since a memorandum of understanding (MOU) was signed between the two countries last week. The strikes came after the US military said it struck Iranian missile and drone locations overnight, as well as coastal radar sites, in what it said was a response to an Iranian drone attack on a ship in the strait of Hormuz.

The MOU – the first of its kind signed by the US and Iran since the latter’s 1979 Islamic revolution – extended a fragile ceasefire and set a 60-day window for talks to achieve a lasting peace. The Islamic Republic’s foreign ministry accused the U.S. on Saturday of breaching the ceasefire and said its military would “defend the country’s sovereignty, security, and national interests with all its strength,” according to Reuters.

The president signed a 14-point memorandum of understanding with the Iranian regime earlier this month, which included a 60-day truce and a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Bahrain’s foreign ministry said a “number of drones” were launched at the country, though there were no immediate reports of damage.
