DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) \u2014 The U.S. military launched a second round of airstrikes Saturday targeting Iran at President Donald Trump\u2019s direction as Tehran hit both Bahrain and Kuwait, underscoring rising tensions that threaten the interim deal between the two nations to stop the war. <\/p>\n

The attack on Kuwait early Sunday was the first since the two sides signed a deal that aimed to halt fighting, and came as a multinational maritime body overseen by the U.S. Navy said Saturday that it would expand a route near Oman in the strait to allow for both inbound and outbound traffic \u2014 likely setting up a new flashpoint with Tehran. <\/p>\n

The U.S. military\u2019s Central Command said it struck Iranian military \u201csurveillance infrastructure, communication systems, air defense sites, drone storage facilities and minelayer capabilities\u201d following an attack on a ship at sea early Saturday morning. That ship, the Panamanian-flagged tanker Kiku, carried crude oil for the state-run energy company of Qatar, a key negotiator between Iran and the U.S.<\/p>\n

In a social media post, Trump said the U.S. had \u201cstruck Iranian missile and drone storage locations, and coastal radar sites, for violating the Cease Fire Agreement, AGAIN!\u201d He warned of a point where the U.S. may no longer be able to be reasonable \u201cand will be forced to militarily complete the job.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf that happens, the Islamic Republic of Iran will no longer exist!\u201d Trump wrote on Truth Social.<\/p>\n

The incident follows a similar back and forth that occurred just days prior when an Iranian drone struck a merchant vessel off the coast of Oman on Thursday and the U.S. military retaliated with strikes.<\/p>\n

US says strikes were a response to Iranian attack on oil tanker<\/h4>\n

According to ship tracking websites, the Kiku left a Qatari oil field in the middle of the Persian Gulf earlier in the week and was bound for a port in the United Arab Emirates that sits on the Gulf of Oman, just on the other side of the Strait of Hormuz. <\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

It appeared to be attempting to use a route that was established near the coast of Oman that is serving as an alternative to the route sanctioned by Iran that runs through its own waters. <\/p>\n

The U.S. military said that \u201cIran had a chance to honor the ceasefire agreement\u201d but \u201celected not to\u201d when its forces attacked the Kiku.<\/p>\n

Iran state TV reported explosions in an area just north of the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n

After the U.S. strikes early Sunday, Kuwait\u2019s military said air defenses intercepted incoming Iranian drones and missiles. It offered no immediate information on any damage. Kuwait is home to a major U.S. Army base. <\/p>\n

Bahrain condemns Iran\u2019s drone attack<\/h4>\n

Earlier on Saturday, a statement from Bahrain\u2019s Foreign Ministry said a \u201cnumber of Iranian drones\u201d targeted the country. It called the attack \u201ca flagrant threat to the security of citizens and residents.\u201d There were no immediate reports of damage.<\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard earlier issued a statement carried by the state-run IRNA news agency saying it had targeted several locations \u201cof the U.S. terrorist army in the region.\u201d It did not name what areas were targeted.<\/p>\n

Bahrain has been one of the strongest critics of Iran and is home to the U.S. Navy\u2019s 5th Fleet. It just hosted U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio for a meeting of the Gulf Cooperation Council\u2019s foreign ministers, which ended with a call for an end to Iran\u2019s attacks and for the strait to be completely open.<\/p>\n

Overnight into Saturday, the U.S. military\u2019s Central Command said it had struck Iranian missile and drone locations and coastal radar sites.<\/p>\n

U.S. Vice President JD Vance, who has led the negotiations with Iran, said on social media Friday night that Iran should \u201cpick up the phone\u201d if there are disagreements about the ceasefire agreement, \u201cbut violence will be met with violence.\u201d<\/p>\n

The U.S. and Iran are negotiating terms of the deal including issues such as getting ships through the strait that\u2019s vital to global supplies of oil and natural gas and addressing the future of Iran\u2019s nuclear program and stockpile of highly enriched uranium.<\/p>\n

Under the interim deal, the two sides have 60 days to work out the details. Ending the fighting in Lebanon between Israel and the Iranian-backed Hezbollah militant group is a key part of the deal.<\/p>\n

Ship comes under attack as strait route expands<\/h4>\n

The British military\u2019s United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center said that a tanker was attacked Saturday in the strait, with the crew safe and no environmental damage reported. No one immediately claimed the strike, but suspicion fell on Iran.<\/p>\n

Just after that report, the Joint Maritime Information Center, overseen by the U.S. Navy, said the route near Oman\u2019s shore is expanding to allow for inbound and outbound traffic.<\/p>\n

Iran has insisted that ships must obey its orders and warned it will start charging fees for transit through the strait. However, ships have been increasingly trying to leave the Gulf in recent days.<\/p>\n

Ebrahim Azizi, who heads the Iranian parliament\u2019s national security commission, wrote Friday that \u201cthe Strait of Hormuz is governed by Iran, so: Respect the rules.\u201d<\/p>\n

The U.S. and Gulf Arab states have rejected Iran\u2019s demands. The strait is considered as an international waterway, despite being the territorial waters of Iran and Oman.<\/p>\n

The Joint Maritime Information Center warned that the threat to ships was \u201csubstantial,\u201d adding that \u201cmariners are advised of the existence of mines and should expect a naval presence as clearance operations continue.\u201d<\/p>\n

The International Maritime Organization on Friday halted a new effort to evacuate ships said it won\u2019t resume until there are guarantees that the other ships won\u2019t be attacked. It said about 115 ships have been able to move out of the strait in recent days.<\/p>\n
