<\/p>\nIran says it has struck targets linked to US forces in response to American air strikes on its southern coast, as each side continues to accuse the other of violating last week’s agreement meant to end the four-month-old war.<\/p>\n
Iran’s foreign ministry did not identify the locations of its “defensive” attacks on Saturday, local time, which it said were a response to “the barbaric air strikes” by the US on its coastal surveillance facilities, which it said also violated the UN Charter.<\/p>\n
Later, Bahrain, which hosts the US Navy’s Fifth Fleet, condemned what it said was an Iranian drone attack on its territory as a flagrant violation of its sovereignty and a threat to its security, adding that it reserved the right to defend itself.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile in the Strait of Hormuz, an oil tanker was struck and damaged by an “unidentified projectile”, British maritime security agency UKMTO said on Saturday.<\/p>\n

“The vessel sustained damage to their bridge; all crew are reported safe,” UKMTO said, while another British marine security firm, Vanguard Tech, said the vessel was the Panama-flagged tanker KIKU.<\/p>\n
Washington did not immediately respond to Iran’s report of striking American targets, a tactic that has sought to undermine US allies in the region during the conflict.<\/p>\n
The US military said its strikes on Friday<\/a> had been a response to an Iranian drone strike on a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz, a waterway vital to global energy supplies.<\/p>\n In a separate development, an Israeli drone struck the Nabatiyeh area in southern Lebanon on Saturday.<\/p>\n An Israeli military vehicle drives near a damaged building in Lebanon, a day after Israel and Lebanon signed a framework agreement following US-mediated talks. (Reuters: Amir Cohen)<\/p>\n Lebanon’s state news agency said an Israeli drone struck in Nabatieh al-Fawqa, which lies outside a security zone shown on a map published by Israel of an expanded zone its troops control in southern Lebanon.<\/p>\n The Israeli military told Reuters it had carried out the strike, using a drone as no Israeli troops were in the immediate area. It said it targeted an individual who posed a threat to its forces, without providing further details or evidence.<\/p>\n It came a day after Israel and Lebanon signed a US-brokered security arrangement aimed at reducing tensions along their border following months of hostilities with Hezbollah.<\/p>\n Both sides said the deal was an initial step that calls for Hezbollah to disarm and Israel to withdraw troops from Lebanon, but it was not clear how it would be enforced. Hezbollah said it would not cooperate.<\/p>\n Iran asserts control over vital strait<\/p>\n Iranian state television said the country’s Revolutionary Guards had delivered “a decisive response” after US forces hit a communications tower in the port city of Sirik.<\/p>\n Iran’s Mehr news agency said the port was operating normally with no damage reported to facilities or equipment.<\/p>\n US strikes Iran after Trump calls Hormuz attack ‘foolish’ ceasefire breach<\/a><\/p>\n Iran’s Revolutionary Guards vows a “swift and decisive” response, according to Iranian state television, claiming they repelled a US attack on Sirik Island, on the shores of the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n Bahrain said Iran’s continued attacks, despite regional and international de-escalation efforts, were undermining peace and regional stability.<\/p>\n It also accused Tehran of breaching UN Security Council Resolution 2817 and the June 17 Islamabad memorandum of understanding.<\/p>\n![\"A](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/a51f731bb93d0aae4af02714516c06f3.jpeg\")
