This strong reaction follows U.S. strikes on radar installations in the Sirik region and on Qeshm Island. Iran's ministry condemned these attacks as a clear breach of the April 2026 ceasefire and an act of aggression against Iran's territorial integrity. Tehran has called upon the UN Security Council to address what it described as an obvious violation of the ceasefire and illegal U.S. actions that jeopardize both regional and international peace.

This attack was a clear violation of the April 2026 ceasefire and a military aggression against Iran's territorial integrity.

The U.S. military reported intercepting multiple missiles launched by Iran toward the U.S.-allied Gulf states of Kuwait and Bahrain. Earlier, U.S. forces claimed to have downed four Iranian drones in the Strait of Hormuz area before subsequently attacking Iranian radar stations on Qeshm Island and in Goruk.

It is a 'blatant' violation of the sovereignty of both countries.

— Bahraini Foreign MinistryBahrain's condemnation of the new Iranian attacks.

Bahrain and Kuwait strongly condemned the latest Iranian attacks, labeling them a "blatant" violation of their sovereignty. Bahrain's state news agency reported that the country's air defense systems intercepted three missiles and an unspecified number of drones. Kuwait's Foreign Ministry described the repeated Iranian attacks as unjustifiable and an "obvious aggression" that disregards international calls for cessation and threatens regional stability.

The repeated, abhorrent Iranian attacks are unjustifiable under any pretext.
