Following recent exchanges, US forces conducted additional strikes on Iranian targets on June 27. The US Central Command (CENTCOM) stated these actions were a response to an attack on a tanker in the Strait of Hormuz, which sustained damage from an "unidentified projectile". This latest development follows Iran's Revolutionary Guard reportedly launching drone and missile attacks against US military installations in Kuwait and Bahrain on June 27. Iran's actions were described as retaliation for earlier US strikes on June 26, which targeted Iranian missile and drone storage facilities and coastal radar stations after an attack on a Singapore-flagged merchant vessel and an alleged ceasefire violation.
