A fragile Middle East truce shook on Saturday as Iran accused the United States of violating a peace agreement through strikes on Iranian territory.
Washington said the strikes targeted missile, drone, and radar sites after Iran allegedly attacked commercial shipping near the Strait of Hormuz.
US Central Command described the operation as a response to “unwarranted aggression” that violated the ceasefire and threatened maritime security.
Tehran rejected the claim, calling the attacks a “blatant violation” of the memorandum intended to end the regional war.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said they retaliated by striking US targets in the Gulf and warned of a broader response.
Bahrain reported several Iranian drones targeted the kingdom early Saturday and accused Tehran of sabotaging peace efforts.
In southern Iran, residents near Sirik heard an explosion, though officials later said port operations continued normally without reported damage.
President Donald Trump condemned what he called an Iranian drone attack on a cargo vessel in the Strait of Hormuz.
Vice President JD Vance warned that “violence will be met with violence” if Iran launches further attacks.
Despite rising tensions, oil prices fell sharply as traders bet that traffic through Hormuz would continue recovering.
Meanwhile, Israel, Lebanon, and the United States signed a framework agreement aimed at opening a path toward lasting peace.
The deal includes a pilot plan for Lebanese soldiers to take control of two areas occupied by Israel.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hailed the accord as a victory against Iran and linked it to Hezbollah’s disarmament.
Lebanese President Joseph Aoun called the agreement a first step toward restoring state sovereignty and returning displaced civilians home.
Hezbollah supporters protested in Beirut, arguing the framework undermines efforts to resolve the wider regional conflict.
Adding another layer of uncertainty, the UN nuclear watchdog said any final US-Iran settlement would require strict safeguards and strong verification measures.
