Mideast Fighting Widens With Attacks on Bahrain, Hormuz Tanker – WSJ
Tit-for-tat violence extends biggest flare-up under Trump’s new agreement with Iran.
The U.S. and Iran exchanged blows Saturday in the Persian Gulf, extending fighting around the Strait of Hormuz into a third day and testing a fragile ceasefire meant to end months of hostilities.
The U.S. operation targeted Iranian communication and air-defense sites, drone-storage facilities and minelaying capabilities, the U.S. military said, following what it said was an attack on an oil tanker in the strait. It was the second wave of American attacks in as many days as the U.S. seeks to degrade Iran’s ability to target commercial shipping.
