On Saturday, Iran launched drone attacks against Bahrain while a ship in the Strait of Hormuz was also attacked. This may be Tehran's response to the US nighttime airstrikes. The attacks in the Persian Gulf once again demonstrate that even though Iran and the US have reached a temporary agreement and are trying to reach a final ceasefire agreement, the situation in Iran's war could still spiral out of control. Earlier, the US Central Command stated that on June 26, the US launched strikes against Iran in response to its attacks on commercial ships. At the same time, the International Maritime Organization announced on Saturday that it will expand the routes in the strait near Oman to allow for two-way passage. This move may once again escalate tensions, as Tehran sees this strait as an important bargaining chip in ongoing negotiations with the US.
