Iran conducted missile and drone attacks on Bahrain and Kuwait in response to U.S. airstrikes targeting Iran. The attacks occurred shortly after the U.S. military, authorized by CENTCOM, struck Iranian targets following Tehran's refusal to adhere to a ceasefire and its attack on a Panama-flagged oil tanker. Kuwait confirmed intercepting two ballistic missiles but reported no casualties or damage. Bahrain stated that an Iranian strike damaged a residential building near its international airport, though no one was killed. The conflict has escalated tensions around the Strait of Hormuz, where Iran insists it holds exclusive control. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned that any attempts to alter existing agreements regarding the strait would increase regional tensions.

Iran launched drone and missile attacks on Bahrain and Kuwait in response to U.S. airstrikes targeting Iranian military positions in the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. conducted the strikes as retaliation for Iranian attacks on ships navigating the region, including a Panamanian-flagged tanker carrying oil for Qatar. Iran has warned that continued U.S. strikes could bring negotiations to a complete halt. Kuwait reported intercepting Iranian missiles and drones, though no injuries were reported. Bahrain confirmed damage to a residential building near its international airport but stated no casualties. Both countries condemned Iran's actions as a deliberate and systematic aggression against their sovereignty.

Iran launched missile and drone attacks on U.S. military bases in Kuwait and Bahrain shortly after President Donald Trump threatened to 'militarily complete the job' against Iran. The attacks come amid ongoing tensions between Iran and the U.S., which had signed an interim deal less than two weeks prior to de-escalate a four-month-long conflict. In addition to the attacks in the Gulf, Israel reportedly struck Iran-backed Hezbollah militants in southern Lebanon. The U.S. military had previously attacked Iran following an incident involving a tanker in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global oil shipping route that Iran has largely blocked during the conflict. The 14-point U.S.-Iran interim agreement aimed to stop the fighting, which the U.S. and Israel initiated on February 28, and reopen the strait to shipping while negotiations on deeper issues like Iran's nuclear program commenced. Mediated talks were recently held in Switzerland, leading to the U.S. waiving some sanctions on Iran, but hostilities have since escalated.

The United States has conducted new attacks against targets in Iran in response to ongoing aggression against commercial shipping traffic. The U.S. Central Command stated that these strikes were a direct reaction to Iran's actions, including the attack on the Panamanian-flagged oil tanker MT Kiku by a drone. The attacks targeted approximately ten locations near the Strait of Hormuz, including communication systems, air defense systems, drone storage facilities, and mine-laying capabilities. President Donald Trump warned Iran that the U.S. would escalate attacks if Tehran continued targeting ships. In response, Iran's Revolutionary Guard claimed they launched rockets and drones at U.S. infrastructure in Kuwait and Bahrain, which both countries confirmed had activated their air defenses. These attacks occurred after the June 17 agreement between the two nations aimed at establishing a ceasefire and negotiating a lasting peace.

The United States has carried out new airstrikes against Iranian targets in response to an attack on a commercial oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz. The incident occurred after Iran struck a Japanese-owned tanker, the M/T Kiku, with a drone, which had been transporting over two million barrels of crude oil. In response, the U.S. military targeted Iranian military infrastructure, including surveillance systems, communication networks, air defenses, and drone storage facilities. President Donald Trump warned via his social media platform, Truth Social, that the U.S. might 'complete the job' if diplomacy fails, suggesting potential further escalation. Iran retaliated by launching drone and missile attacks on Kuwait and Bahrain. These actions threaten the recent U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding aimed at de-escalating tensions.

Iran launched drones and missiles against Bahrain and Kuwait on Sunday in response to U.S. airstrikes targeting Iran, threatening to halt negotiations to end the war if attacks continue. The dispute over controlling the Strait of Hormuz has escalated tensions, with Iran insisting it must have sole authority over the strategic waterway. A multinational maritime organization, supervised by the U.S. Navy, announced plans to widen a route in the strait to allow two-way traffic, which Iran opposes. Recent attacks on ships passing through an Oman-backed route supported by a UN agency have further heightened tensions. The U.S. and Iran are still negotiating terms for a temporary peace agreement, including allowing ship passage through the strait, lifting sanctions, and addressing Iran’s enriched uranium reserves. However, ongoing conflicts in Lebanon, where an Israeli soldier was killed by Hezbollah fire, threaten to derail the deal.

Iran launched drone and missile attacks against Bahrain and Kuwait on Sunday in response to recent U.S. airstrikes targeting Iranian facilities. Iran warned that if the United States continues its attacks, negotiations aimed at ending the conflict could face 'total paralysis.' The Iranian Foreign Ministry condemned the U.S. military actions as attacks by a 'terrorist army' and emphasized Iran's resolve to defend its national sovereignty. Bahrain's air defense intercepted Iranian missiles and drones after new U.S. strikes on Iran, while Kuwait condemned the attacks on its territory. Both countries accuse each other of violating a ceasefire agreement reached via a memorandum of understanding on June 17 regarding control over the strategic Strait of Hormuz, which Iran had blocked during the war declared by Israel and the United States on February 28. Efforts to reopen the narrow mouth of the Persian Gulf, through which a fifth of global oil and gas traffic passes, without direct Iranian oversight, have reignited tensions.

On June 28, 2026, the United States conducted another attack on Iranian targets in response to an alleged Iranian strike on a freighter. The U.S. military stated that the attacks targeted missile defense sites, drone storage facilities, and surveillance infrastructure along the Strait of Hormuz. According to the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), these actions were taken due to 'ongoing Iranian aggression against civilian shipping.' Earlier, the UK’s Maritime Security Agency reported that a Panamanian-flagged tanker named 'Kiku' was struck by an unknown projectile, though the exact circumstances remain unclear. This marks the second U.S. attack on Iran since the signing of a framework agreement between the two countries in mid-June.

Iran has launched ballistic missiles and drones at American military bases in Kuwait and Bahrain, shortly after President Donald Trump threatened to eliminate Iranian leadership if they did not adhere to a temporary ceasefire agreement. Israel claimed it struck the pro-Iran militia Hezbollah in Lebanon, just days after reaching a new ceasefire deal with Lebanon. The US military stated it had retaliated against Iran following an attack on a ship in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global oil passage controlled by Tehran. Trump warned on social media that if diplomacy fails, 'the Islamic Republic of Iran will no longer exist.' A 14-point temporary ceasefire agreement was meant to halt fighting between the US and Israel, reopen the strait, and continue negotiations over issues like Iran's nuclear program. Despite a recent round of talks in Switzerland led by US Vice President JD Vance and Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, and the lifting of sanctions on Tehran, violence has continued and intensified.
