U.S. and Iranian forces exchanged military strikes on Monday in what each labeled “self-defense” and retaliatory strikes. 

U.S. Central Command announced the military launched “self-defense strikes” against Iran over the weekend, strategically targeting drone “radar and command and control sites.” The military said it conducted operations in designated areas in Qeshm Island and Goruk, Iran, in a social media post late Sunday night. Iranian forces claimed they fired “retaliatory” strikes in response, according to the Associated Press. Additionally, Kuwait announced it was engaged in defensive military operations as well, saying the country’s defenses had intercepted drones and missiles believed to be from Iran.
