The United States struck specific targets in Iran for the second night in a row, in response to an Iranian attack on a ship in the Strait of Hormuz, according to a security-focused channel. Iran retaliated by firing at Bahrain and Kuwait.
The United States conducted precision strikes against specific targets in Iran overnight Sunday, marking the second consecutive night of American military action inside Iranian territory. The strikes were described as retaliation for an Iranian attack on a ship in the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday evening, according to a security-focused channel. Iran responded by firing at Bahrain and Kuwait, signaling a continued cycle of escalation following weeks of mounting tensions over maritime security in the Gulf. The report frames Tehran as emboldened after what it characterizes as a collapse of the world's leading power, though that assessment remains a stated opinion.
As The Zioneer reported earlier Sunday, the first wave of US strikes overnight Saturday targeted ten Iranian military sites — including air-defense systems, drone sites, and mine-laying capabilities — in response to attacks on commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. That wave was confirmed by a senior US official at around 00:17 Jerusalem. Initial unverified reports of explosions near the port of Sirik were followed by video footage of strikes against ten Iranian targets, and by an Israeli media report citing Channel 14's Noam Amir confirming 10 strikes across Iran, all published at Sun 00:17 Jerusalem. Iran retaliated to that first wave by striking US bases in Bahrain and Kuwait with no casualties reported, according to an Iranian official.
As The Zioneer reported on Wed Jun 10, a second wave of US strikes had previously targeted Iranian air defenses and radar systems, with Iran then striking US bases in Bahrain, Kuwait, and Jordan. The current escalation has seen Washington repeatedly strike Iranian military infrastructure in the Gulf region, with Tehran retaliating against US bases and Gulf allies over the past several weeks.
No independent confirmation of casualties or the full scope of either side's strikes is yet available. The reported Iranian retaliatory fire at Bahrain and Kuwait remains unverified by independent sources.
