US Launches Fresh Strikes on 10 Iranian Military Targets After Drone Attacks on Commercial Vessels

According to Bloomberg, the US conducted a fresh round of strikes against multiple Iranian targets on Saturday, hitting 10 military sites including surveillance infrastructure, communication systems, air defense installations, drone storage facilities, and minelayer capabilities near the Strait of Hormuz, as a weekend of tit-for-tat attacks extended fighting into a third day and led both sides to claim violations of the ceasefire underpinning peace talks.  US Central Command said "Iran was given a chance to honor the ceasefire agreement but elected not to," while President Trump warned on Truth Social that "there may come a point when we are no longer able to be reasonable, and will be forced to militarily complete the job that we very successfully started."  The escalation began when Iran struck a container ship on Thursday, prompting US strikes on Friday; Iran then hit another vessel carrying Qatari oil on Saturday. Bahrain's foreign ministry reported Iranian drones targeting the country, home to the US Navy's 5th Fleet, while a UK naval group said a tanker was struck by an unidentified projectile in Hormuz. The Joint Maritime Information Center raised the strait's security threat to "substantial" and published a mine-warning area.  Iran's foreign ministry called the US attack "an explicit violation" of the MOU, while the IRGC claimed it struck US sites in response. Vice President JD Vance said the US had "honored" the deal and warned "violence will be met with violence." The fighting risks slowing progress toward restoring Hormuz shipping traffic to pre-war levels, with talks on MOU details due to resume Monday.  On a separate track, Israel and Lebanon signed a US-brokered framework deal Friday to end their conflict, but Hezbollah chief Naim Qasem declared it "null and void" by Saturday morning. The two sides remain divided over whether Iran can impose tolls on vessels transiting the strait, with Oman telling European allies that fees may ultimately be required.
