An adviser to Iran's supreme leader has warned Bahrain of severe military action following retaliatory Iranian strikes on a local US base. Concurrently, the US and Iran have agreed to halt counter-strikes and resume critical diplomatic talks in Doha this Tuesday to resolve their maritime dispute over the Strait of Hormuz.

Vice-President J.D. Vance said ‘violence will be met with violence’ after insisting the US has adhered to the ceasefire deal.

Iran and US have accused each other of violating the truce after drone attacks, US strikes and a vessel hit in the Strait of Hormuz raised tensions.
