New attacks were reported in the Middle East on Saturday, straining an interim agreement between the United States and Iran that aims to end the war while negotiations continue.
Drone Assault on Bahrain
Iran launched a drone assault targeting Bahrain, home to the U.S. Navy’s 5th Fleet. A ship in the Strait of Hormuz separately came under attack, though no one immediately claimed responsibility.
An earlier attack from Tehran on a commercial ship in the strait prompted the U.S. military to launch a new round of strikes Friday. U.S. Central Command said in a press release that the strikes hit Iranian missile and drone storage locations and coastal radar sites.
The exchange of fire is disrupting efforts to resume normal traffic in the strait, a crucial oil shipping route. It could potentially influence gas prices in the U.S., which have been trending downward in recent days.
