Iran says it carried out strikes against U.S. military sites in Kuwait, Bahrain in retaliation for U.S. attack

Iran's Revolutionary Guards said on Sunday local time that it carried out strikes against Kuwait and Bahrain in retaliation for U.S. attacks on Iranian territory, warning any further aggression would be met with a "crushing response."

The Guards "destroyed eight important US military facilities at the Ali al-Salem base in Kuwait and at the Fifth Fleet naval base in Port Salman in Bahrain," they said in a statement.

"Any enemy aggression, whatever the pretext, even against insignificant targets… will have a crushing response," the Guards added.

There are no reported U.S. casualties, major impacts or damage to U.S. locations at this time.

Trump threatens U.S. military will "complete the job" if Iran doesn't comply with ceasefire

President Trump confirmed the U.S. airstrikes on Iran Saturday and said that the strikes were carried out for "violating" the ceasefire agreement.

"United States aircraft just struck Iranian missile and drone storage locations, and coastal radar sites, for violating the Cease Fire Agreement, AGAIN!" Mr. Trump said in a Truth Social post.

The president issued an aggressive threat in the post, saying it was possible Iran "may 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," the president said. "If that happens, the Islamic Republic of Iran will no longer exist!"

US airstrikes again hit Iran as Tehran strikes Bahrain and Kuwait, further imperiling interim deal

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — The U.S. military launched a second round of airstrikes Saturday targeting Iran at President Donald Trump’s direction as Tehran hit both Bahrain and Kuwait, underscoring rising tensions that threaten the interim deal between the two nations to stop the war.

The attack on Kuwait early Sunday was the first since the two sides signed a deal that aimed to halt fighting, and came as a multinational maritime body overseen by the U.S. Navy said Saturday that it would expand a route near Oman in the strait to allow for both inbound and outbound traffic — likely setting up a new flashpoint with Tehran.

The U.S. military’s Central Command said it struck Iranian military “surveillance infrastructure, communication systems, air defense sites, drone storage facilities and minelayer capabilities” following an attack on a ship at sea early Saturday morning. That ship, the Panamanian-flagged tanker Kiku, carried crude oil for the state-run energy company of Qatar, a key negotiator between Iran and the U.S.

In a social media post, Trump said the U.S. had “struck Iranian missile and drone storage locations, and coastal radar sites, for violating the Cease Fire Agreement, AGAIN!” He warned of a point where the U.S. may no longer be able to be reasonable “and will be forced to militarily complete the job.”

Mexican Officials Have Become Informants for the Trump Administration

President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico has pushed back against U.S. investigations into Mexican politicians.Now some politicians want to cooperate.

6/2726

As the Trump administration ramps up its investigations into Mexico’s government, elected officials in the country’s governing party have been quietly offering themselves to U.S. authorities as informants against fellow party members, according to eight people involved in the conversations.

The discussions have come in the weeks since the United States indicted 10 current and former Mexican officials, charging them with colluding with one of the nation’s most powerful drug cartels.In turn, President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico has made challenging those investigationsa rallying cry for her leftist political party, Morena, denouncing the indictments as foreign interference.

But behind the scenes, the conversations between some of her party members and U.S. authorities could hand the United States critical momentum at a delicate time in U.S.-Mexico relations, escalating the standoff between the two countries.

At least a dozen elected officials in Mexico — including governors and members of Congress, many from the governing party — have reached out to discuss sharing information about fellow politicians, multiple people said, and several have already begun talks with the United States.

Many of the officials are seeking to get ahead of investigations that they fear could soon focus on them, the people said.

The sudden wave of cooperation was in part set off by a Drug Enforcement Administration initiative to privately contact Mexican officials in hopes of persuading them to talk, according to three people familiar with the efforts.

More than a dozen people spoke to The New York Times for this article on the condition of anonymity to discuss the D.E.A.’s efforts and the confidential talks between the U.S. government and Mexican officials.

The D.E.A. and Mexican government declined to comment.

Mexican politicians aiding U.S. investigations into their colleagues is a deeply worrying sign for Mexico’s dominant political party and its leader, Ms. Sheinbaum.It signals that U.S. corruption investigations are gaining speed, just as Ms. Sheinbaum has made opposing them a central bet of her presidency.….
