The U.S. military has reportedly targeted Iranian radar networks and air defense capabilities as part of ongoing operations in the 2026 Iran war. This escalation comes after the recent collapse of a ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran, prompting a series of military actions in the region. The targeting of radar and air defenses is aimed at suppressing Iran’s ability to detect or intercept aircraft, potentially paving the way for more comprehensive airstrikes. This development follows a series of renewed hostilities, including an Iranian attack on a ship in the Strait of Hormuz.
