Iran caused extensive damage to US base in Bahrain, report says

On 26 June 2026, the US struck Iranian missile and drone sites after a cargo ship, named as Ever Lovely, was hit in the Strait of Hormuz. President Trump said Iran fired four drones at ships in Hormuz, one of which hit, and called it a 'foolish violation' of the ceasefire deal. The UN said a Hormuz evacuation was halted after a ship was struck. Tehran said it targeted US positions in response, and Iran's Revolutionary Guards accused the US of breaching the memorandum of understanding.

Separately, the Wall Street Journal reported that Iran caused extensive damage to a US base in Bahrain, and Iranian media said the US was considering relocating Fifth Fleet assets from Bahrain.
