According to PBS NewsHour Science, this was in response to attempted attacks against ships in the Strait of Hormuz.\n\nIranian media reported that Tehran attacked a US military base in Bahrain using drones, as noted by Arutz Sheva - Israel National News and further detailed by Middle East Eye, which stated that the Iranian military targeted radar installations and areas where US forces are stationed at Sheikh Isa Air Base in Bahrain.\n\nThe US strikes were also mentioned by CBS News, which reported that the US launched new strikes against Iran after tankers were hit in the Strait of Hormuz. The Times of Israel added that an Iranian official said one of the attacks killed four people at a wedding. John Ternus has taken over as Apple's new CEO, and the jury in the Lindsay Clancy trial spent a fourth day deliberating, at one point telling the judge they were struggling to reach a unanimous decision, as per PBS NewsHour Science.",
