On Friday, the U.S. Central Command carried out “a powerful response” against Iran, destroying Iran’s “missile and drone storage locations and coastal radar sites.” In a statement, Iran accused the U.S. of breaching the agreement not only by bombing its surveillance sites but also by allowing Israel to continue its military operation in southern Lebanon, which was a key condition of the deal to stop hostilities.

Bahrain hosts a key U.S. naval base in the Middle East and is one of a handful of countries in the Gulf region that have been targeted by Iran’s drone and missile attacks since the war began in late February. Kuwait, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates, where U.S. military assets are hosted, have also been targeted by Iranian drone or missile strikes during the war.

“Iran signed a ceasefire agreement. We have honored it. If they have disagreements about how the MOU is being applied, they can pick up the phone,” Vance said on X.

Although a route near Oman is being expanded for inbound and outbound traffic, traffic through the Strait remains below prewar levels, as the situation remains volatile in the area. According to the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations, an oil tanker was hit by an unidentified projectile while passing through the Strait. The vessel sustained damage to its bridge, but no injuries were reported. It was unclear who was responsible for the attack.

The conflict with Iran started four months ago, when the U.S. and Israel launched a joint operation that struck hundreds of targets in Iran and killed its Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and dozens of top Iranian officials. In response, Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz and sent hundreds of ballistic missiles and thousands of drones targeting Israel and other countries in the Middle East. The conflict has deepened regional instability and uncertainty around global energy supplies.
