Iran’s semi-official Tasnim news agency quoted local authorities as saying that 10,000 people were facing water shortages following a U.S. strike on a desalination plant. Tehran has previously accused Washington of damaging a desalination plant in March.

U.S. Central Command said it had hit “surveillance sites, military logistics infrastructure, underground weapons storage, and maritime capabilities.”

Meanwhile, Bahrain and Jordan said they each intercepted several strikes from Iran on Saturday. Tasnim quoted the Iranian army as saying that they had targeted U.S. bases in Jordan and Kuwait.

A ceasefire agreement reached in June was declared over by U.S. President Donald Trump last week after talks to end the conflict stalled.
