IranUS and Iran Exchange Missile and Drone Strikes Amidst Ceasefire Violations

Why this is news
⚡ Ground-truth evidence ahead of media — While mainstream news headlines mention 'US and Iran from mutual attacks on each other's targets' and 'US truce wobbles,' they lack specific, primary evidence or claims from Iranian sources like the IRGC showing footage of their retaliatory missile strikes against US targets in the Persian Gulf region. The news reports the event second-hand or generally, without the direct, visual evidence and specific claims of response provided by social signals.
⚡ Counters the mainstream narrative — While the news mentions 'Trump threatens to annihilate Iran after tit-for-tat attacks, recriminations over peace deal violations' and 'Iranska Revolucionarna garda napala Bahrein i Kuvajt kao odgovor...', it does not explicitly report the widespread condemnation from multiple Gulf states that directly refutes Iran's justification for its actions. The news also mentions 'Egypt condemns attacks on Kuwait, Bahrain' and 'Residential building badly damaged in Iranian attack, Bahrain government says',
