The US military says it carried out strikes on Iranian radar sites in what it calls a defensive action after Iran launched four attack drones toward the Strait of Hormuz.
The US military shot down all of the Iranian drones, saying they “posed an immediate threat to regional maritime traffic.” It says the Iranian coastal surveillance radar sites targeted by the US were located in Goruk and on Qeshm Island.
The incident was the latest in back-and-forth attacks that have strained the tenuous ceasefire in the war and efforts to reach a deal to extend that truce. Earlier this week, Iranian drones heavily damaged a passenger terminal at Kuwait’s main airport, killing one person, wounding dozens and briefly closing the airfield. (Source)
