The U.S. and Iran are exchanging strikes despite ongoing peace talks.
President Donald Trump announced "major combat operations" against Iran on Feb. 28, with massive joint U.S.-Israeli strikes targeting military, government and infrastructure sites.
Delegations from the U.S. and Iran entered negotiations in June aimed at a war-ending deal based on a memorandum of understanding signed by both countries.
The U.S. and Iran have nonetheless continued to exchange relatively limited strikes despite the signing of the memorandum and amid the continuation of peace talks, with the strategic Strait of Hormuz the primary flashpoint.
The Bahrain Defense Force on Tuesday confirmed that Iran launched fresh attacks on the Gulf kingdom, as exchanges continue between American and Iranian forces despite the memorandum of understanding signed by the combatants last month.

U.S. Central Command released a statement on the latest wave of strikes on Iranian military targets, saying the mission lasted five hours.
CENTCOM said it struck military targets across Iran, including Bushehr, Chah Bahar, Jask, Konarak, Abu Musa, and Bandar Abbas "to further degrade Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping."
The Persian Gulf Strait Authority (PGSA), a government body created by Iran during the ceasefire to manage crossings in the Strait of Hormuz, said in a statement on Monday that passage through the Strait is currently unfeasible.
They had been urging ships to visit their website to get a permit for passage.
"Due to recent hostile actions by the U.S. forces, passage through the Strait of Hormuz is currently unfeasible," the statement said. "As soon as stability and calm are restored, all applications will be reviewed in accordance with the scheduled timeline, and the permitting process will resume."
Trump said the U.S. will have Iran “under control very quickly,” touting the naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz that is to resume on Tuesday.
"Well, I think it's going very fast. We've demolished their military. We're hitting them very hard,” Trump said when asked how long he expects the resumed war with Iran to last.
“We had a deal yesterday or the day before yesterday. It was all done, and then they broke up that deal immediately because they found out there was something in the deal they didn't like,” Trump said. “And they're wired differently, and we're not going to put up with it. We are just going forward. We're attacking them tonight. We're taking on all of their capability for anything having to do with the strait, with the Hormuz Strait. And I think in the end we will end up controlling the whole thing," Trump continued.
"But we'll have it -- we'll have it under control very quickly," Trump added.
As the U.S. continued strikes against Iran on Monday, Trump said, “The blockade was probably more effective even than hitting them, but I think the combination is the thing that, that really does it.”
