The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy and Aerospace Force launch retaliatory strikes against Bahrain and Kuwait, including the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet, in response to the U.S.
Confirmed
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. 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.

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.
Iran launched a drone attack against Bahrain early Saturday, hours after the U.S. military carried out strikes on Iranian military sites. 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 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. Hours later, a shipping monitor run by the British Navy — the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center — said a vessel in the Strait of Hormuz was struck by an unidentified projectile.
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. A multinational maritime body supervised by the US navy said on Saturday it would expand a route near Oman in thestrait of Hormuz to increase inbound and outbound traffic.
Bahrain’s foreign ministry said a “number of drones” were launched at the country, though there were no immediate reports of damage. Israel said it targeted an individual who “posed a threat to its forces”, without providing any evidence for the claim.
