US Military Says It Shot Down Iranian Drones Launched Toward Strait of Hormuz
CENTCOM said the attack drones threatened maritime traffic and the strikes were meant to prevent further attacks as tensions with Iran escalated.
- On Friday, U.S. Central Command shot down four Iranian drones near the Strait of Hormuz, then struck coastal surveillance radar sites in Goruk and on Qeshm Island to "defend against further attacks," Centcom said.
- The drones posed an "immediate threat to regional maritime traffic," Centcom said, following broader escalations that damaged Kuwait's main airport terminal earlier this week, killing one person.
- Enforcing a blockade on Iranian ports, the U.S. military confronts military adviser Mohsen Rezaei's warning that Washington would "enter into a dark corridor" if kinetic action restarts, citing negotiation deadlock.
- President Donald Trump stated Friday that "the situation with Iran seems to be going quite well," maintaining the conflict will end through diplomacy or a "more difficult way."
- Regional fighting in Lebanon, where Israeli forces have seized southern territory, complicates efforts to end the Iran war, even as officials tout a ceasefire recently brokered in Washington.
