US, Iran Trade Strikes Despite Visas for World Cup Footballers
CENTCOM said it intercepted four Iranian drones before US strikes hit radar sites, while Iran fired seven missiles at American facilities, officials said.
- On Friday, American and Iranian forces exchanged fresh strikes across the Gulf, escalating a conflict that persisted despite an April ceasefire; CENTCOM struck Iranian radar installations after intercepting four "one-way attack drones" headed toward the Strait of Hormuz.
- Iranian Revolutionary Guards claimed they targeted "enemy bases in the area" with missiles in response to a US "invasion" of Sirik and Qeshm Island, though CENTCOM confirmed six missiles were intercepted and one "did not reach its intended target."
- Contradicting Iranian claims of damaging the Fifth Fleet headquarters, the US military confirmed there are "currently no reports of harm to US personnel," while Kuwaiti air defenses responded to "hostile" missile and drone attacks on Wednesday.
- President Donald Trump told NBC News on Friday that Iran retains roughly "21, 22 per cent" of its missile stockpile, while Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei's adviser demanded the release of frozen Iranian assets worth "$24 billion" to end the stalemate.
- Despite ongoing hostilities, the United States granted visas to Iran's national soccer team for the June 15 FIFA World Cup match in Los Angeles, with Ambassador to Turkey Tom Barrack confirming "sports transcends borders, and we look forward to welcoming competitors.
