Despite the ceasefire in the Iran war and ongoing negotiations, mutual attacks continue to occur. The US military is attacking targets – it is said to have been a response to drone attacks.
The US military says it fended off four Iranian drones in the Strait of Hormuz area and then attacked coastal surveillance radar stations in Iran. The combat drones posed a threat to shipping, the US regional command responsible for the Middle East (Centcom) announced on the X platform.
US forces then attacked radar positions on the island of Qeshm in the Strait of Hormuz and in the town of Goruk to “defend themselves against further attacks,” the military said.
There has actually been a ceasefire in the war, which began on February 28th with attacks by the USA and Israel against Iran, for almost two months. However, there have recently been isolated attacks on each other by the warring parties. At the same time, tough negotiations are underway for a framework agreement between the USA and Iran to end the war.
After previous attacks by the US military, Iran frequently attacked US-allied Gulf states such as Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates. There are also US military bases there.
