Iran and the United States have called for a mutual end to days of escalating strikes and agreed to renew talks, just hours after Iran launched drone and missile attacks on Bahrain and Kuwait in response to fresh US strikes near the Strait of Hormuz.

Some shit you should know before you dig in: Iran and the US signed a memorandum of understanding earlier this month to pause a roughly four-month war, handing each side a 60-day window to hammer out a permanent end to the conflict. A key piece of that deal is the Strait of Hormuz, the waterway through which about 20 percent of the world’s oil passed before the war, and which Iran blocked during the fighting, setting off a worldwide energy crunch. Under the MoU, Iran agreed to make arrangements for the safe passage of commercial ships through the strait for 60 days. But the two sides read the document very differently. Iran insists vessels stick to a designated route hugging its coastline and says it alone controls the waterway, while many ships have chosen to transit through Omani and Emirati waters instead. The trouble flared up last week after Oman and the UN’s International Maritime Organization mapped out a new shipping lane that skirted Iranian waters entirely, which Tehran saw as a direct violation of the deal.

What’s going on now: The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps confirmed Sunday that its forces hit two American military sites with missiles and drones (the Ali Al Salem airbase in Kuwait and the 5th Fleet’s base in Bahrain). The strikes came hours after US Central Command said it had hit 10 Iranian military targets near the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday, calling it a response to an Iranian drone attack on the Panama-flagged tanker Kiku, which had over two million barrels of crude on board.

President Donald Trump accused Iran of violating the ceasefire and issued a blunt threat on Truth Social. “There may come a point when we are no longer able to be reasonable, and will be forced to militarily complete the job that we very successfully started. If that happens, the Islamic Republic of Iran will no longer exist!”

Kuwait said its air defenses knocked down two ballistic missiles and reported no damage. Bahrain, where the US Navy bases its 5th Fleet, said the strikes wrecked a residential building close to the international airport but left no one dead. Both countries condemned the attacks as a violation of their sovereignty, and the UAE, Jordan, Oman, Qatar and other Gulf states called for restraint. Qatar later said one of its citizens had been killed and a second person wounded by shrapnel linked to the fighting in the region.
