Iran launched missile and drone strikes on Sunday against US military installations in Bahrain and Kuwait, escalating the worst crisis between Washington and Tehran since their fragile mid-June ceasefire. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard said the attacks targeted the Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait and the US Navy’s Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain, in retaliation for American airstrikes on ten Iranian sites along the Strait of Hormuz and on Qeshm Island. The strikes came hours after US Central Command confirmed it had hit Iranian surveillance, communications, air-defense, drone-storage and minelaying facilities in a second consecutive night of operations ordered by President Donald Trump.

Bahrain confirmed explosions and air-raid sirens, reporting damage to a civilian building, while Kuwait said its air defences intercepted several incoming projectiles. Iran’s state media claimed the strikes had “destroyed” US targets and warned that any further American action would trigger an “overwhelming response.” The Revolutionary Guard added it would consider halting peace negotiations entirely if Washington continued its attacks, deepening fears that the interim deal signed on 17 June is collapsing.

Trump, writing on Truth Social, accused Iran of a “foolish violation” of the ceasefire after a drone struck the Liberian-flagged tanker Kiku in the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday. US aircraft then struck ten Iranian military sites, including radar and missile-storage facilities, CENTCOM said. Trump warned that “it could come to a point where we can no longer be reasonable” and threatened that “the Islamic Republic of Iran will no longer exist” if full-scale war resumes. The White House has yet to comment on Iran’s demand to abandon talks.

Gulf states condemned the Iranian strikes. Bahrain’s foreign ministry called them a “blatant threat to the security of citizens and residents,” while Kuwait’s defence ministry said it had intercepted ballistic missiles and drones. The US-backed maritime security corridor through the Strait of Hormuz, expanded on Saturday to allow two-way traffic, has become a new flashpoint; Iran insists the waterway falls under its jurisdiction and has threatened to levy transit fees. The Organisation Maritime International suspended a vessel-evacuation initiative on Friday, citing continued attacks.

With both sides trading accusations of ceasefire violations, diplomats in Manama and Washington are scrambling to salvage the 60-day framework agreement that also aims to end fighting in Lebanon between Israel and Hezbollah. The latest exchanges mark the most serious deterioration since the interim deal took effect, raising the prospect of a wider regional conflict.
