U.S. says it struck Iranian drone and radar sites as Iran claims retaliation with air base attack
CENTCOM said the strikes destroyed air defenses, a ground control station and two attack drones that threatened ships in regional waters.
- 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.
