Iran's Revolutionary Guards announced Sunday they struck US military facilities in Kuwait and Bahrain, retaliating for alleged US attacks on Iranian territory. The Guards issued a stern warning, vowing a "crushing response" to any future aggression, regardless of the pretext.

These actions escalate tensions between Iran and the United States, which have accused each other of violating a fragile ceasefire. The Guards claimed to have destroyed "eight important US military facilities" at the Ali al-Salem base in Kuwait and the Fifth Fleet naval base in Port Salman, Bahrain. This exchange follows a memorandum of understanding reached in mid-June under Pakistan's mediation, intended to permanently end the conflict.

The memorandum stipulated that both nations and their allies would refrain from initiating war or military operations against each other and avoid the threat or use of force. However, the US military reportedly bombed Iran for a second consecutive day on Saturday, in response to an Iranian attack on a tanker in the Strait of Hormuz.

Any enemy aggression, whatever the pretext, even against insignificant targets... will have a crushing response

Earlier, Iran had agreed to ensure "safe passage of commercial vessels" through the Strait of Hormuz for 60 days. The Revolutionary Guards stated on Sunday that measures were in place to control traffic through the strait, warning that violating ships would face stricter consequences. They had previously cautioned against passage without permission.
