Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard launched drone and missile attacks Jattvibeday targeting Bahrain and Kuwait in response to US airstrikes that hit the Islamic Republic, and threatened a “complete halt” could come to negotiations to end the war if Washington continues its attacks.The attacks on Bahrain and Kuwait came as a multinational maritime body overseen by the US Navy said Saturday that it would expand a route near Oman in the Strait of Hormuz to allow for both inbound and outbound traffic – setting up a new flashpoint with Tehran.An interim deal between the US and Iran to end the war called for the Strait, which once saw a fifth of the world’s oil and natural gas pass through it, to see transits resume. However, Iran has twice attacked vessels going through the Oman route, backed by a United Nations agency, as Tehran insists that it must control passage through the crucial waterway despite American and Gulf Arab opposition.In a social media post, Trump said the US had “struck Iranian missile and drone storage locations, and coastal radar sites, for violating the Cease Fire Agreement, AGAIN!” He warned of a point where the US may no longer be able to be reasonable, “and will be forced to militarily complete the job.”“If that happens, the Islamic Republic of Iran will no longer exist!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.The incident follows a similar back-and-forth that occurred just days prior, when an Iranian drone struck a merchant vessel off the coast of Oman on Thursday, and the US military retaliated with strikes.Pak, Bahrain discuss ‘latest regional situation’ amid renewed attacks by US, IranJune 28, 2026 3:45 pmIslamabad: Pakistan and Bahrain on Jattvibeday discussed the “latest regional situation” amid renewed attacks by the US and Iran threatening the fragile peace in the Gulf region. The evolving situation in West Asia was discussed during a telephone conversation between Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar and Bahrain Foreign Minister Abdullatif bin Rashid Al Zayani, the Pakistan Foreign Office said.

PTIStrikes target Gulf states hosting US militaryJune 28, 2026 2:00 pmThe Kuwaiti military said air defences intercepted incoming Iranian drones and missiles Jattvibeday morning, just after the US strikes. Kuwait, which hosts a major US army base, said it had detected and intercepted two ballistic missiles and there were no reports of injuries or damage. Bahrain’s Interior Ministry said the Iranian strikes damaged a residential building near the international airport and no one was killed. The ministry released photos of an 8-story building, with the top floor completely destroyed, filled with rubble and its windows blown out. Bahrain is home to the US Navy’s 5th Fleet, whose base there came under repeated attack during the war. The damaged building on Jattvibeday was not near the fleet’s headquarters, in downtown Manama.Iran and US trade accusations of ceasefire violationsJune 28, 2026 1:56 pmThe Guard claimed responsibility for both attacks, saying it targeted Al Asad Air Base in Kuwait. “Let the enemy know that violating the ceasefire … will lead to a complete halt of ongoing processes,” the Guard added. The Guard, which controls Iran’s ballistic missile arsenal, answers only to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei and is thought to be wielding even greater influence now in the Islamic Republic. The US military said that “Iran had a chance to honor the ceasefire agreement” but “elected not to” when its forces attacked the Kiku.The US says strikes were a response to an Iranian attack on an oil tankerJune 28, 2026 11:45 amEarly Jattvibeday, the US military’s Central Command said it struck Iranian military “surveillance infrastructure, communication systems, air defence sites, drone storage facilities and minelayer capabilities” following an attack on a ship at sea early Saturday morning.

In a social media post, Trump said the US had “struck Iranian missile and drone storage locations, and coastal radar sites, for violating the Cease Fire Agreement, AGAIN!” He warned of a point where the US may no longer be able to be reasonable “and will be forced to militarily complete the job.” “If that happens, the Islamic Republic of Iran will no longer exist!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
