Iran live updates: US shoots down 2 Iranian drones attempting to strike ships in Strait of Hormuz

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei told reporters Wednesday that Tehran will need to reassess negotiations with the U.S. following the latest exchange of strikes.

"What happened last night demonstrated that Iran's brave armed forces do not hesitate when it comes to defending the country," Baghaei said, as quoted by the IRIB state television channel.

"Unfortunately, the United States is undermining this process through contradictory messages, frequent shifts in its positions and demands, and repeated violations of the ceasefire," he added.

Iranian state television said Wednesday that U.S. missiles hit water tanks in Sirik, a county located in the Hormozgan Province on the coastline of the Strait of Hormuz.

The U.S. has not commented on the report, which ABC News could not immediately verify.

According to a local water company, the two tanks affected -- one with 500 cubic meter capacity and the other 2,000 cubic meter -- are vital water distribution infrastructure for the area.

The Bahrain Defence Force said in a post to social media on Wednesday that its air defenses intercepted an unspecified number of Iranian missiles and drones. Iran, the BDF said, "is continuing its systematic hostility."

Kuwait's Defense Ministry said in a statement posted to X on Wednesday that its defenses also intercepted "hostile aerial targets at dawn today."

The Israel Defense Forces said on Wednesday that it launched more strikes on the southern Lebanese city of Tyre, targeting what it claimed was "infrastructure" and weapons used by Hezbollah to attack Israeli forces operating in the south of the country.

The latest round of strikes targeted "Tyre and several areas in southern Lebanon," the IDF said in a post to X.

Also on Wednesday morning, IDF spokesperson Avichay Adraee issued a new evacuation order for the south Lebanese towns of Houmin al-Fawqa and Ghassaniyeh, warning of imminent "decisive action" against alleged Hezbollah targets there.

Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon continue unabated despite a ceasefire agreed between Israeli and Lebanese leaders, which was rejected by Hezbollah.

Lebanon's Ministry of Public Health said on Tuesday that at least 3,666 people have been killed and 11,321 people injured by Israeli attacks in Lebanon since March 2.
