Iran's attack on Bahrain with drones, as well as a ship being hit by gunfire in the Strait of Hormuz, could be Tehran's response to the US airstrikes the previous night.

The attacks in the Persian Gulf highlight the risk of a war with Iran escalating out of control, even after Iran and the US reached a provisional agreement aimed at reaching a final deal to end the conflict.

The U.S. launched airstrikes the previous night in response to Iran's drone attack on a container ship attempting to leave the Strait of Hormuz on June 25, continuing a series of attacks that have shaken the fragile ceasefire in the conflict.

Meanwhile, a multinational maritime agency overseen by the U.S. Navy announced on June 27 that it would expand a route near Oman in the Strait of Hormuz to allow two-way traffic. This could create a new flashpoint for Iran, which views the Strait of Hormuz as crucial leverage in ongoing negotiations with the U.S.

Bahrain is one of the countries that strongly criticizes Iran and is home to the US Navy's Fifth Fleet. Bahrain recently hosted US Secretary of State Marco Rubio at a meeting of Gulf Cooperation Council foreign ministers, which concluded with a call to end Iranian attacks and fully open the Strait of Hormuz.
