Commercial shipping traffic was trickling through the Strait of Hormuz Saturday as US allies in the Gulf strongly condemned an Iranian drone strike on Bahrain.<\/p>\n

The United Arab Emirates slammed the attack \u201cin the strongest terms\u201d while Kuwait, which houses major US bases, called it a \u201cthreat to the security and stability of the region.\u201d<\/p>\n

The foreign ministry of Bahrain, home to the US Navy\u2019s Fifth Fleet, denounced it as \u201ca flagrant violation of Bahrain\u2019s sovereignty.\u201d<\/p>\n

A tanker in the strait was also struck by a projectile, according to the UK\u2019s Maritime Trade Operations. <\/p>\n

It said the ship was damaged but the crew were unharmed.<\/p>\n

Ten commercial ships had passed through the critical waterway, Fox reported as of Saturday morning.<\/p>\n

But tensions have again flared in the region after an Iranian drone strike Thursday on a Singapore-flagged cargo ship along the coast of Oman prompted US military attacks on Iranian targets.<\/p>\n

A US maritime body overseen by the military said it was expanding a route along Oman. <\/p>\n

That move was seen as more brushback to Tehran, which inked a Memorandum of Understanding with the US where both sides agreed the strait would remain open for 60 days toll-free.<\/p>\n

The body called the current threat level \u201csubstantial.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Friday ,the US executed a \u201cpowerful response\u201d to Iran\u2019s attack on the M\/V Ever Lovely as the ship transited the strait a day earlier, attacking Iranian missile and drone storage locations as well as coastal radar, Central Command said Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe unwarranted aggression against commercial shipping by Iranian forces clearly violated the ceasefire,\u201d CENTCOM said. <\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\u201cFurthermore, Iran\u2019s dangerous behavior undermined freedom of navigation as commerce increasingly flows through the vital international trade corridor.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vice President JD Vance, who was in Switzerland for Iran talks with the Tehran on Monday, vowed Friday evening that violence by the Iranians would not continue.<\/p>\n

\u201cIran signed a ceasefire agreement. We have honored it. If they have disagreements about how the MOU is being applied, they can pick up the phone,\u201dhe said. <\/p>\n
