US-Iran war news LIVE: Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said early on Sunday that its navy and aerospace forces had launched a joint missile and drone operations targeting US military sites in Kuwait and Bahrain.
Iran said it struck U.S. linked targets in response to U.S. strikes on Iranian missile and drone storage locations. The newest exchange of fire raises questions about President Trump’s Memorandum of Understanding with Iran.
Bahrain said it was targeted by Iranian drones Saturday in what the foreign ministry condemned as a "blatant violation" of its sovereignty and a "flagrant threat." Vice President JD Vance warned Iran earlier that "violence will be met with violence.
"It was the host that wasn't very good to us," coach Amir Ghalenoei said after Friday's match.
Vance says Iran agreed to let international nuclear inspectors back into the country during a "very, very good" first day of negotiations with the U.S.
Egypt are taking on Iran in their final group-stage match at the 2026 World Cup in Seattle today. Mohamed Salah’s side have already qualified for the knockout stage and are hoping to secure top spot in Group G with a win.
