U.S. says it struck Iranian drone and radar sites as Iran claims retaliation with air base attack
CENTCOM said the strikes destroyed Iranian air defenses and two drones after Tehran shot down a U.S. MQ-1 drone, while Iran said it hit a U.S. base in retaliation.
- On Saturday and Sunday, U.S. Central Command conducted "self-defense strikes" on Iranian radar and drone control sites in Goruk and Qeshm Island after Iran shot down a U.S. MQ-1 drone over international waters.
- Retaliating for the strikes, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps targeted a U.S. air base without disclosing its location, prompting Kuwait's military to intercept incoming missile and drone attacks early Monday.
- The U.S. continues enforcing a naval blockade of Iranian ports, redirecting 118 commercial vessels to protect the Strait of Hormuz, through which "about 20%" of global petroleum supply typically transits.
- President Donald Trump claimed Monday that "Iran really wants to make a deal," yet Iranian officials expressed "severe suspicion and mistrust," stating negotiations remain ongoing without final agreement.
- Analysts warn that recurring confrontations risk "gradual escalation driven by recurring incidents," potentially derailing ceasefire talks as Washington and Tehran continue trading strikes rather than finalizing a lasting agreement.
