Iran and the US are continuing attacks in the Gulf, accusing each other of violating a recent interim ceasefire agreement. Early Sunday, Iran launched missiles and drones targeting US military sites in Kuwait and Bahrain, following a warning from President Donald Trump about potential US military action. This escalation occurred after the US military reported striking Iran again, hours after a tanker was hit in the Strait of Hormuz. The conflict, which has lasted four months, has seen Iran largely cut off the vital energy shipping route.
