Iranian media reported on Thursday (June 11, 2026) that Iran had attacked the U.S. Fifth Fleet in Bahrain, after U.S. strikes on its territory. “In this wave of army drone strikes, communication antennas and radar facilities of the Patriot system of the 5th Fleet were targeted,” the Mehr and Fars news agencies posted on Telegram.
Iran’s military command said on Thursday it will target any ship transiting the Strait of Hormuz, after it struck two vessels attempting to pass through the strategic waterway, as talks to
end the war faltered. The United States launched a new wave of attacks against Iran on Wednesday, with President Donald Trump vowing to “hit them hard” after accusing Tehran’s negotiators of
“playing us for suckers”. Meanwhile, oil prices climbed more than $2 a barrel as Iran declared the critical energy chokepoint, the Strait of Hormuz, closed after the U.S. launched additional strikes against Iran.
