The US military said it had on Saturday and Sunday conducted “self-defense strikes on Iranian radar and command and control sites for drones in Goruk, Iran and Qeshm Island”.
In a post on X, Centcom said US fighters struck the Iranian military’s air defences, a ground control station and two drones that it said “posed a clear threat to ships transiting through regional waters”. No American personnel were injured in the attacks, the military said.
The IRGC said it targeted the airbase which the US had used to carry out the strikes on its communications tower on Sirri Island in the Gulf, around 40 miles (65km) from Iran’s southern coastline.
Iran’s military added that its response would be “completely different” if US aggression was “repeated”, according to IRGC remarks reported by Iran’s semi-official Fars news agency.
Kuwait’s military said on Monday it was “confronting hostile missile and drone attacks” using its air-defence systems, but did not specify where the interceptions were occurring.
Tehran targeted an air base in Kuwait last week in response to earlier US air strikes, which it said were conducted to prevent Iranian boats and missile strikes from laying mines around the shipping channel.
