Iran claimed Saturday it conducted strikes against U.S. military targets in the Middle East following the U.S.’s recent retaliatory strikes around the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said they targeted positions linked to the U.S. military while the regime’s foreign ministry alleged the U.S. had violated the ceasefire agreement between the two countries, CNN reported Saturday morning, citing Iranian state media outlet Press TV.
The U.S. military has yet to confirm any military strikes, according to the outlet.
The nation of Bahrain, which hosts the U.S.
Navy’s Fifth Fleet, later reported having been targeted by an Iranian drone strike.

The move comes after U.S.
Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed in an article posted Friday that U.S. forces “conducted strikes against Iran, June 26, as a powerful response to yesterday’s attack on a commercial ship that was transiting the Strait of Hormuz.”
Neither CENTCOM nor the White House immediately responded to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s requests for comment.
The U.K.
Maritime Trade Operations said Saturday that a tanker located “within the Strait of Hormuz” had “reported being struck by an unidentified projectile, adding that, while the “vessel sustained damage to their bridge,” “all crew are reported safe.”
President Donald Trump on Friday accused Iran of violating the ceasefire agreement between the countries.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran shot at least four One Way Attack Drones at Ships transversing the Strait of Hormuz,” the president wrote in a Truth Social post.
“One of the Drones solidly hit the upper deck of a large and very expensive Cargo Carrying Ship.
Damage was done, but the Ship was able to proceed on its way.
We knocked down three other Drones.”
“Obviously, this is a foolish violation of our Ceasefire Agreement,” Trump added.
Vice President JD Vance likewise wrote in an X post on Friday that “Iran signed a ceasefire agreement,” adding that the U.S. has “honored it.”
“If they have disagreements about how the MOU is being applied, they can pick up the phone,” Vance continued.
“Violence will be met with violence.”
