The US military says it has downed six Iranian ballistic missiles launched towards its Gulf allies, while a seventh missile failed to reach its target.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps said it targeted a US airbase in Kuwait and the US Navy’s 5th Fleet in Bahrain, according to Iranian state media.
The attack came on Friday just hours after the US military also shot down four Iranian attack drones headed towards the Strait of Hormuz, with US Central Command saying they “posed an immediate threat to regional maritime traffic”.
US forces later struck Iranian coastal surveillance radar sites in Goruk and on Qeshm Island along the strait “to defend against further attacks”, according to Centcom.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump said Washington did not necessarily need a ceasefire deal in order to get Iran’s enriched uranium.
“We could get it right now. I don’t think they could stop us if we wanted, but there’s no reason to. It’s entombed”, he told reporters in the Oval Office.
