U.S. Military Intercepts Iranian Missiles and Drones Amid Rising Tensions
The U.S. military has successfully intercepted Iranian ballistic missiles and drones that were launched towards the Strait of Hormuz and Gulf Arab allies, including Kuwait and Bahrain. This military action comes as part of an ongoing exchange of fire that has further strained the already fragile ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran. According to U.S. Central Command, seven ballistic missiles were fired by Iran, with six being intercepted and the seventh failing to reach its target. Additionally, four Iranian drones were shot down earlier in the day. The U.S. military also targeted Iranian coastal surveillance radar sites in response to these attacks. The situation has escalated tensions in the region, with Kuwait and Bahrain taking defensive measures, including activating air raid sirens and advising residents to seek safety.
