The United States and Iran have engaged in a new round of military exchanges, despite an existing ceasefire. The U.S. military targeted Iranian radar and drone facilities, while the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps struck a U.S.-linked base.
Key points
- U.S. Central Command stated the strikes were in response to the downing of a U.S. MQ-1 drone over international waters.
- The U.S. military reported hitting a ground control station and two one-way attack drones on the Iranian Gulf coast.
- Kuwait's air defense systems intercepted missile and drone attacks, with sirens sounding across the country.
- The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed to have successfully targeted an air base used by the U.S. for operations in southern Iran.
Why it matters
These recurring military exchanges threaten to derail ongoing negotiations aimed at establishing a durable agreement to end the three-month-old conflict.
