As part of Operation Closing Verse, the IDF on Sunday evening destroyed an underground terror infrastructure belonging to the Hezbollah terrorist organization in the vicinity of the southern Lebanese village of Majdal Zoun.

The tunnel network, spanning over 200 meters in length and reaching a depth of more than 25 meters, contained hundreds of weapons and heavily fortified infrastructure. This included blast doors, four launch shafts, and 12 rooms used for munitions storage and terrorist quarters.

Among the items discovered at the site were dozens of disassembled drones, aircraft components, warheads, and explosives. The IDF classified the complex as one of Hezbollah’s most significant strategic assets in the sector.

According to the IDF, more than 20 Hezbollah terrorists were eliminated during operations in the area, including approximately ten members of the elite Radwan Force.

The IDF noted that Israel notified the United States and the US envoy to Lebanon in advance regarding the destruction of the infrastructure.

“IDF commanders and troops will remain in the southern Lebanon security zone and will continue to destroy terror infrastructure, eliminate threats to northern communities, and ensure the safety of Israel’s citizens,” the military stated.

“Due to the sheer force of the blast, local, independent earthquake alerts – which are not connected to Home Front Command systems – may be triggered. There is no danger to residents in the north.”

The condemnation comes after Bahrain’s Interior Ministry announced on X/Twitter that air raid sirens sounded across Bahrain for the second time in as many hours.

The renewed Iranian attack marks a “dangerous escalation” that is part of a continued, targeted attack against Bahrain’s sovereignty, the Bahraini Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Sunday morning.

“Tehran’s actions are neither incidental nor isolated, but rather a deliberate policy and systematic pattern of repeated aggression against the Kingdom’s sovereignty and the security of its citizens and residents,” the statement read.

Additionally, the repeated strikes “eliminate every possible pretext and prove prior intent, as the aggression constitutes a clear resumption of hostilities following Tehran’s commitment under the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding.”

“This leaves Tehran solely responsible for violating its commitments and undermining the remaining prospects for de-escalation and stability in the region,” it said.

Further, Bahrain called for the United Nations Security Council to convene an emergency session and put an end to Iran’s aggression and hold Tehran accountable.

No deaths reported

The condemnation comes after Bahrain’s Interior Ministry announced on X/Twitter that air raid sirens sounded across Bahrain for the second time in as many hours.

“Citizens and residents are requested to remain calm, head to the nearest safe location, and follow updates through official channels,” the ministry wrote.

Later, it added that while a residential building was damaged, no deaths had been reported.

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun condemned Iran’s attacks on Kuwait and Bahrain on X, calling for urgent international action to put an end to the escalating violence.

 

Iran attacks US military sites in Kuwait, Bahrain

Late on Saturday, a US official confirmed to Reuters that Iran had launched multiple missiles and drones toward neighboring countries, including Bahrain and Kuwait, in the latest escalation in the Middle East.


“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,” said US President Donald Trump.

The US military said it struck Iran again on Saturday, hours after a tanker was hit in the Strait of Hormuz, in the worst escalation since the two sides signed an interim peace deal two weeks ago.

“The enemy is using tricks, and we do not trust it,” the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said on Sunday morning in response to the strikes. “It may make moves at any stage, even during the negotiations.”

“Our response will be more severe than the last time every time the enemy violates the ceasefire.”

US President Donald Trump said in a Truth Social post on Saturday that the “United States aircraft just struck Iranian missile and drone storage locations, and coastal radar sites, for violating the Cease Fire Agreement, AGAIN!”

“It is very possible that they will never learn! 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. If that happens, the Islamic Republic of Iran will no longer exist!” he wrote.

Each of the warring sides has accused the other of violating the agreement reached two weeks ago to end the four-month-old conflict.

US Central Command said its forces carried out fresh strikes after a Panama-flagged tanker was attacked by an Iranian drone early on Saturday. In Iran, state broadcaster IRIB said early Sunday local time that explosions were heard in Sirik in southern Iran, without providing further details.

According to Trump, the US struck missile and drone storage facilities, as well as coastal radar sites.

 

 

Iran said on Sunday that US airstrikes targeted several monitoring and surveillance facilities on Iran’s southern coast, calling the attacks a violation of an interim deal meant to end the four-month-old war between the two countries.

“These brutal attacks … show that the US does not place the slightest value or credibility on its commitments, and breaking promises is part of its nature,” Iran’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

Retaliation for Iranian strikes in Hormuz, US-linked targets attacked

“Iran was given a chance to honor the ceasefire agreement but elected not to,” CENTCOM said in a statement. It said the strikes were “in direct response to continued Iranian aggression against commercial shipping” and targeted Iranian military surveillance, communications, air defense, drone storage, and mine-laying facilities.

A US defense official later reported that the strikes on Iranian targets were complete, according to Fox News.

Washington said earlier that it hit Iranian targets overnight. Iran said it responded on Saturday by striking targets linked to US forces.

Iran’s Saturday drone attack on the cargo ship M/T Kiku, which, according to CENTCOM, carried more than two million barrels of crude oil, came after an earlier attack on the cargo ship M/V Ever Lovely that triggered the latest escalation on Thursday. Iran has made a fresh bid to assert control over the world’s most important energy shipping route, which has begun to reopen after months of disruption.

Britain’s UKMTO maritime security agency said the tanker hit on Saturday had sustained damage to its bridge, with all crew reported safe. The Joint Maritime Information Center, run by a coalition of navies protecting shipping, raised its security threat level as a result of recent incidents.

 

Iran has not directly commented on reports of specific attacks on ships. But Iranian state television reported that the Revolutionary Guards fired “warning shots” toward unspecified vessels attempting to pass through channels not approved by Iran, and that this was now prompting other ships to seek Iranian permits before attempting to cross the strait.

Earlier, Iran’s foreign ministry said it launched “defensive” attacks on US-linked military targets, while Bahrain, which hosts the US Navy’s regional headquarters, reported an Iranian drone attack. The US military did not immediately respond to the reports.

According to Reuters, in response to the latest US attacks, Iran’s IRGC Navy command announced that US bases in the region will experience “hell” in the coming days.

CENTCOM affirms that US forces “remain vigilant, lethal, and ready” to continue defending commercial vessel transits through the Strait of Hormuz.

There are no reported US casualties, major impacts, or damage to US locations in the region at this time, a US official told Reuters. According to the source, the situation is still unfolding.
