Tehran launched strikes against US military positions in Bahrain and Kuwait on Tuesday, officials confirmed, in retaliation for an earlier American strike on Iran [184471]. The fresh exchange of fire puts new pressure on a 60-day truce agreed to last month, which aimed to reduce regional tensions [184471]. Iran’s military confirmed the operation targeted US positions in both Gulf nations, and Washington has not yet publicly responded to the latest strikes [184471].

In a separate escalation on Sunday, Iran launched new drone and missile attacks on Bahrain and Kuwait following fresh US air strikes [184448]. Tehran warned it would halt all negotiations and close the Strait of Hormuz again if the attacks continue [184448].

The situation remains volatile, with both sides accusing each other of violating the temporary ceasefire [184471].
