Iran said it struck targets linked to US forces in response to US airstrikes on its southern coast, while Bahrain condemns an Iranian drone attack on its territory.
The Iranian foreign ministry said the US attacks violated the memorandum of understanding between the two countries and the UN charter.
The US military attacked Iran on Friday, saying this was in response to an Iranian drone strike on a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz.
US Central Command said aircraft struck missile and drone storage locations and coastal radar sites, while Iran said a projectile struck the area around a pier in Sirik in southern Iran, and that Iranian naval forces responded by striking US military targets in the region.
Tehran has said it will continue to control the Strait of Hormuz and warned Gulf states not to side with Washington after Thursday’s attack on a cargo ship traveling near Oman’s coast. US President Donald Trump blamed the attack on Iran and said it violated last week’s agreement.
Later, Bahrain, which hosts the U.S. 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.
Bahrain said Iran’s continued attacks, despite regional and international de-escalation efforts, were undermining peace and regional stability. It also accused Tehran of breaching U.N. Security Council Resolution 2817 and the June 17 Islamabad memorandum of understanding.
