The brief
Iran has attacked Bahrain for the second time in days, according to reporting by The New York Times, ending a lull of roughly two months in attacks. Bahrain says it has intercepted two Iranian barrages this week after months of relative calm.
The renewed strikes come as peace talks between the United States and Iran appear to have stalled, adding a new layer of uncertainty to a conflict that has already reshaped the wider Middle East.S1
The attacks fit into a broader pattern of hostilities across the Gulf, where the Strait of Hormuz and a Saudi-Houthi conflict have also drawn attention in recent coverage of the regional war.S1S2
