Iran FM Blasts New US 'Ceasefire Violations'Iran has again accused the US of breaking the ceasefire, with the Foreign Ministry on Saturday stating the US "not only lacks the will to reduce tensions and return to the path of stability, but with its adventurist actions, it seriously endangers the security of the region."
The ministry on X denounced fresh US attacks its coastal radar and surveillance facilities in Sirik region and on Qeshm Island - saying this breached the ceasefire. The ministry “strongly calls on the countries of the region to observe the principle of good neighborliness and adhere to the fundamental principle of international law of refraining from allowing aggressors to use their territory and facilities to plan and carry out aggressive actions against the Islamic Republic of Iran."
It seems clear that for each US action, Iran is seeking to establish deterrence, and so is not hesitating to fire or inflict some kind of 'cost' either on US bases or the Gulf allies hosting them.
More Pakistani efforts to forge together agreement to get US-Iran back to the formal negotiating table:

— Anas Mallick (@AnasMallick) June 6, 2026 Salvo of Ballistic Missiles Fired on Kuwait, BahrainSoon after the initial drone shootdown engagement (below), it became apparent that anti-air defense systems were active over Kuwait, as its armed forces warned the public that explosions were the result of inbound projectile intercepts. While there were no reports of damage, the ground result is still anything but clear or certain (based on past instances of the US and Gulf allies concealing or downplaying damage or casualties).
Within hours after this initial exchange of fire, Iran followed up with more ballistic missiles on nearby Bahrain and Kuwait - as 'punishment' for the countries hosting US forces and American bases.
Bloomberg reports that "Six ballistic missiles fired at Bahrain and Kuwait were intercepted and another failed to reach its intended target, hours after four drones headed to the Strait of Hormuz were shot down, Centcom said." It notes that the "US military struck Iranian coastal surveillance radar sites in Goruk and on Qeshm Island in return."
It Started With Iranian Drone ShootdownsMore details have come to light of the latest overnight flare-up in fighting between US and Iranian forces in and around the Strait of Hormuz and Persian Gulf.
The Friday night and overnight clashes started when the US military reportedly intercepted and shot down at least four Iranian one-way attack drones. According to US Central Command (CENTCOM), the incoming unmanned aerial vehicles were heading directly toward the Strait of Hormuz and posed an "imminent threat to maritime traffic."
Following the drone shootdowns, American forces immediately launched retaliatory strikes against key military targets inside Iranian territory. CENTCOM further detailed that American assets hit Iranian coastal surveillance radar sites located in Goruk, a city in the Hormozgan province, as well as on Qeshm Island, a strategically vital Iranian outpost in the mouth of the strait.
Each Exchange Another Escalation Toward Full-Scale WarOne thing is clear: these 'limited' escalations are becoming more regular, and even almost nightly at this point, raising the stakes and possibility of a more full-on, dangerous renewed war.
Every exchange like this could mean a return to full-scale war, and that’s what’s going to happen eventually unless Trump just pulls out, which I don’t think he’s gonna do. https://t.co/PFUiLoXktm
— Dave DeCamp (@DecampDave) June 6, 2026It has also become increasingly evident and acknowledged that the ceasefire has allowed Iran to reconstitute much of its missile and drone capabilities, and underground launch tunnels are being dug out with heavy equipment.
President Trump himself has recently admitted this state of things, amid the extended ceasefire:
US President Donald Trump, who has insisted for months that Iran was near its breaking point, conceded Friday that the country retains some missile and drone capacity. In an interview with NBC News, he said about 21-22% of Tehran’s missile arsenal remains.
“It’s a lot of missiles, but it’s not what it was when we first attacked,” he told the television network during a visit to Wisconsin. Earlier Friday, he told reporters the US is “having great success with Iran,” and “they’re in no position to have a nuclear weapon.”
Sunday will mark 100 days since the start of Operation Epic Fury. Trump and US officials had touted only a 'short' conflict, and seemed to have been betting on the government being toppled.

A Christian police community support officer lost his career after asking a Muslim colleague about jihad and Hamas atrocities during a diversity session that promised open discussion. At the same time, training drilled "white privilege" into police ranks.
Luke Salmons, a 46-year-old Christian father of two and respected PCSO with North Yorkshire Police, relates how he attended a mandatory training day on race, religion and culture. Trainers spent several minutes marching up and down the room chanting "Islam is a religion of peace" repeatedly. A Muslim sergeant then spoke about his faith and invited questions in what was presented as a "safe space" where "there was no such thing as a bad question."
Salmons asked what the sergeant, as a peaceful Muslim, thought about the situation in Gaza and atrocities carried out by Hamas and other groups in the name of Islam. He also asked what jihad meant to him. The discussion was civil. The sergeant later invited Salmons for coffee to continue the conversation privately.

- Patrick Christys (@PatrickChristys) June 5, 2026Salmons brought a book on the topic to work. Colleagues photographed it in his locker and reported him as a risk. An inspector then suspended him, declaring "I don't like your beliefs." Salmons noted the obvious double standard: no inspector would ever say that to a Muslim officer.
He was suspended on full pay for months, resigned under pressure in April 2025, and faced gross misconduct proceedings. Supported by the Christian Legal Centre, he appealed. Chief Constable Tim Forber overturned the dismissal before Salmons had even finished presenting his case. There was no apology and the episode devastated his family.
"I loved my job and I was good at it. I was well respected as a PCSO and my colleagues said they loved working with me and couldn't understand what was happening. But an overzealous inspector took against me and that was the end of my career, even though I had done nothing wrong," he related.
"It devastated me and my family. For months we lived in total uncertainty, with my reputation being shredded in secret. I resigned not because I had done anything wrong, but because the silence, the delay and the pressure became unbearable for my wife and daughters," Salmons added.
This is the new reality inside parts of British policing: open discussion of uncomfortable facts about Islamist ideology is treated as career-ending wrongthink, while entire days are devoted to chanting slogans and centring one faith above others.
The same ideological pressures are visible in operational failures. In the Henry Nowak case, an 18-year-old white British student was stabbed five times. He told responding officers he had been stabbed and could not breathe. Instead of treating him as a medical emergency, officers handcuffed him after his attacker falsely claimed racism. The attacker was allowed to walk away. An inquest is examining whether the handcuffing contributed to Nowak's death.
The police watchdog investigated itself and declared no wrongdoing.
Serving and former Hampshire officers later admitted the mandatory DEI training played a role. They told former Home Secretary Suella Braverman they had "it drummed into us about our white privilege and unconscious bias." One described the outsourced trainer as "deeply hateful of white people and our culture."
Meanwhile, shocking street interviews and bodycam footage show officers across forces admitting they will arrest people for speech that causes offence if an allegation is made - including phrases such as "send them all home." In one Birmingham incident, officers restrained a light-skinned suspect while a crowd of young men from ethnic minority backgrounds kicked and struck him; the police did not intervene to protect the suspect.
There has been a collapse in police standards:
These are the predictable result of years of diversity training that reframes native Britons, especially white ones, as inherent problems and elevates subjective feelings of offence above evidence and equal protection.
Into this crisis steps Keir Starmer. When US Vice President JD Vance directly addressed the Henry Nowak murder and the broader pattern, Starmer's team responded by once again accusing outsiders of interference.
Keir Starmer hits back at JD Vance for 'stirring up division' after he pointed to 'migrant invasion' as cause for Henry Nowak's murderhttps://t.co/Pwg1KGDNe7
- GB News (@GBNEWS) June 5, 2026A No 10 spokesman said: "In recent days we have seen people trying to interfere in our democracy and seeking to stir up division on our streets. The Nowak family are grieving after Henry's horrific murder. They have said they do not want his death to be used to create further division, hatred or tension. We should be respecting their wishes. Our politics should bring people together even in the most terrible of circumstances. That is who we are as a country."
Downing Street also rejected "any suggestion of two-tier policing."
Vance had stated the uncomfortable truth: "Henry Nowak died the same way a civilization dies: abandoned, handcuffed by authorities who neither trusted nor cared for him, and accused of hate crimes he did not commit. His murder is as tragic as it is enraging. He should still be alive today, and he would be if the last few generations of European elites had stood their ground against the politics of self-hatred and the mass invasion of migrants, many of whom despise the West and the people who love it."
He added: "Each time a life like his is lost, the proper response - the only response - is righteous anger. One of the most important things the Trump administration has proven to the world is that stopping the flow of mass migration and defending national sovereignty is a matter of political will and leadership. Anything else is an excuse."
Henry Nowak's murder will become a watershed moment in the UK.
And the Americans are right to share their concerns about what is happening to our country. pic.twitter.com/0Qdf972jQO
Starmer's outrage rings hollow. The same voices now demanding silence on UK failures spent years commenting on American policing cases. The real division comes from policies that import incompatible cultures at scale, shield certain ideologies from scrutiny, and punish officers who notice the consequences.

- @amuse (@amuse) June 5, 2026Starmer now brands anyone linking such failures to mass migration and ideological capture as "stirring up division." Britain's police forces have been turned into enforcers of protected ideologies rather than impartial protectors of the public.
Luke Salmons was punished for treating a "safe space" as genuinely open. Henry Nowak paid with his life while officers prioritised a racism narrative drilled into them by ideologues. Thousands more officers stay silent for fear of the same fate. Meanwhile, the Prime Minister's response to criticism is to attack the messengers.
Equal justice, free inquiry inside the police, and honest discussion of the cultural and demographic realities driving these failures are not optional extras. They are the minimum requirements for a functioning civilisation. Anything less is managed decline dressed up as compassion.
