U.S. and partner forces conducted strikes on Qeshm Island in response to Iranian attacks across the Middle East on Monday, according to U.S. Central Command, before another wave of drones targeted U.S. assets in Kuwait later in the evening.
CENTCOM said the operations were in response to Iran launching ballistic missiles toward Kuwait and Bahrain, which were intercepted. Officials said no personnel were harmed. The United States said it had shot down Iranian drones targeting civilian vessels “moments earlier” and targeted a ground station on Qeshm Island. Yet another wave of drones followed Tuesday evening, though CENTCOM again reported shooting them down.
