Iran Threatens to Halt Talks and Close Hormuz After US Strikes; Launches Attacks on Bahrain and Kuwait

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) warned of a 'crushing response' to US strikes over Hormuz, threatening to halt negotiations and close the Strait of Hormuz. In response, Iran launched drone and missile attacks on Bahrain and Kuwait. The US observed refuelling aircraft heading to Hormuz in the same formation as previous strikes.

Iran's IRGC accused the United States of violating a framework deal with strikes over the Strait of Hormuz, warning that any violating vessels would face a 'crushing response.' Euronews reported that US refuelling aircraft were observed taking off for Hormuz in the same formation as the previous night's strikes, suggesting a coordinated and ongoing military operation. France24 noted that Iran launched drone and missile attacks on Bahrain and Kuwait on Sunday, following new US airstrikes, and warned of halting negotiations and closing the Strait of Hormuz if attacks continued. The two sources diverge on the focus of the event: one emphasizes US air activity, the other Iran's retaliatory strikes.
