Iranian strikes in Bahrain: Iran launched a drone attack targeting Bahrain on Saturday, while a commercial tanker came under attack in the Strait of Hormuz. Bahrain’s Foreign Ministry said a “number of Iranian drones” targeted the country, describing the assault as “a flagrant threat to the security of citizens and residents”. Separately, the UK’s maritime security agency, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations, said a tanker was attacked in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran’s IRGC said it had targeted several locations belonging to the “US terrorist army in the region”, without identifying specific sites, spilling tensions beyond diplomacy in the region again, with maritime traffic security at Hormuz remaining ambiguous.

US ‘breached’ the MoU: An adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader Mohsen Rezaei accused the United States of breaching the memorandum of understanding that ended the recent conflict, saying Washington had created new tensions in the Strait of Hormuz. Rezaei said the US had violated the agreement through its actions in the strategic waterway, where maritime security has remained a key issue in post-war negotiations.
