And Iran exchange strikes, underscoring the fragility of the ceasefire

Iran exchange strikes, underscoring the fragility of the ceasefire comes into focus as Iran’s Revolutionary Guard said it launched drone and missile attacks on Bahrain and Kuwait on Sunday. The strikes were reported hours after new U.S. military action against Iranian targets, further complicating negotiations aimed at a lasting ceasefire. Kuwait said air defenses intercepted two Iranian ballistic missiles, with no injuries or damage reported. Bahrain’s Interior Ministry said Iranian munitions hit a residential building near the international airport; photos released by the ministry showed an eight-story structure with its top floor destroyed and windows blown out, and no deaths were reported. The clashes add strain to a tentative U.S.-Iran memorandum earlier this month that gave both sides 60 days to resolve disputes over shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, removal of a U.S. blockade, sanctions relief, and Iran’s highly enriched uranium stockpile.
