From 21m agoUS says Iranian radar and command and control sites struck over the weekendUS central command (Centcom) has said that it struck targets in Iran over the weekend, in a statement that came just minutes after Kuwait announced it was under attack.Labelling their actions “self-defence”, the US said it hit Iranian “radar and command and control sites for drones in Goruk, Iran and Qeshm Island”.Centcom said the attack was in response to “aggressive Iranian actions”, including the “shootdown of a U.S. MQ-1 drone that was operating over international waters.”The US strikes mark the third time that the ceasefire between Iran and America has been violated since it was agreed in early April. On both previous occasions, Tehran and Washington played down the significance of the exchange of strikes and the truce was able to continue.The latest action comes amid a flurry of diplomatic wrangling between the Trump administration and Iran’s leadership to secure a lasting ceasefire and return shipping to the strait of Hormuz.Key events21m agoUS says Iranian radar and command and control sites struck over the weekend25m agoSummaryShow key events onlyPlease turn on JavaScript to use this featureIran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) has said it targeted an airbase used by the US to launch an attack on Sirik Island in southern Iran, according to a statement in Iranian media.Sirik Island is located in the strait of Hormuz.
