Iran again fired on ships in the Persian Gulf early Sunday, according to a report by Ariel Kahana (Israel Hayom). U.S. Central Command struck 10 targets in retaliation, a larger salvo than the previous night. Iran then launched drones toward Bahrain and Kuwait, and President Trump said 'they never learn.' Oil prices remain around $70 a barrel.
Early Sunday morning, Iran again fired on ships in the Persian Gulf, prompting the U.S. Central Command to strike 10 Iranian targets — a broader retaliation than the previous night's, according to a report by Ariel Kahana (Israel Hayom). Iran then launched drones toward Bahrain and Kuwait. President Trump said 'they never learn,' though oil prices remained stable around $70 a barrel. The exchange extends a sequence that began overnight (published at Sun 00:29 Jerusalem), when Trump confirmed U.S. aircraft had struck Iranian missile and drone storage depots and coastal radar sites after what he called another Iranian ceasefire violation — fire toward Kuwait and Bahrain. At that time, Trump warned that if Iran continues to breach the truce, the U.S. may have to 'complete the job' militarily, in which case 'the Islamic Republic will no longer exist.' By Sun 01:18 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that Trump had announced a second wave of strikes. Across those overnight bulletins, corroboration evolved: initial reports from a Hebrew-language security source were followed by official U.S. military confirmation that strikes had hit surveillance, air defense, communications, drone storage, and mine-laying systems, with additional strikes reported on Qeshm Island and port cities. As The Zioneer reported on Wed Jun 10, the escalation follows days of sustained U.S. strikes and Iranian retaliatory fire at American bases across the region. It remains unclear whether Sunday morning's exchanges mark a peak or a further ratchet toward sustained conflict.
