Vice President JD Vance, now serving as President Donald Trump’s lead on the conflict, stated that the United States has kept its side of a ceasefire agreement with Iran and warned that any further aggression would be answered in kind. His comment came as Iran launched strikes Saturday against American-linked targets, which Tehran described as retaliation for U.S. air raids on its coastal surveillance sites. Washington said its own Friday strikes were a response to an Iranian drone attack on a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz. Bahrain separately condemned what it called an Iranian drone assault on its territory. Both sides have accused each other of violating the interim accord, which was meant to end a four-month war. The exchange of fire threatens stability in a region vital to global energy supplies.
