Iranian drones target Bahrain after US offensive, straining ceasefire

Bahrain said it had been targeted by Iranian drones and a ship in the Strait of Hormuz was struck on Saturday, adding fresh tension to the detente established in the wake of an interim US-Iran peace deal signed earlier this month. Bahrain’s foreign ministry said a number of Iranian drones targeted the country, home to the US Navy’s 5th Fleet, early on Saturday morning, state-run BNA reported. Tehran has repeatedly targeted it and other Gulf states that host American military bases and thousands.
