The Strait of Hormuz saw renewed clashes as Bahrain reported drone attacks from Iran and a tanker was struck on Saturday, marking the third consecutive day of escalation despite a U.S.-Iran agreement signed earlier this month. While Tehran denied direct responsibility, its Revolutionary Guard claimed credit for strikes against American targets and reasserted control over the strategic waterway.

Bahrain said it came under attack from Iranian drones, and a tanker was hit Saturday while crossing the Strait of Hormuz, as fighting around the strategic waterway extended into a third day despite the agreement signed earlier this month to wind down the U.S.-Iran war.
Iran didn’t specifically claim responsibility for the attacks. But state media said the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps had carried out strikes against American targets in the region and reasserted Iran’s claim of control over traffic in the strait.
