Iran condemns U.S. strikes as ceasefire breach after attacks on Bahrain and Kuwait

Iran’s Foreign Ministry condemned U.S. airstrikes as a violation of a ceasefire agreement after U.S. Central Command said it struck Iranian military targets following a drone attack on an oil tanker. The confrontation had already widened with Iranian drone and missile attacks on Bahrain and Kuwait, with Kuwait reporting interceptions and Bahrain reporting damage to a residential building near its airport but no deaths. The latest developments add to pressure on a 60-day interim arrangement under discussion between Washington and Tehran covering shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, sanctions and Iran’s highly enriched uranium stockpile, while escalating risks for global oil markets, international trade and broader regional security.
