US CENTCOM Conducts Airstrikes on Iranian Gulf Coast Military Sites
U.S. Central Command conducted multiple airstrikes against Iranian military sites along the Gulf coast on June 1, 2026. The Pentagon stated the strikes were a response to the recent shootdown of a U.S. MQ-1 drone over international waters and escalating Iranian aggression. The operation targeted radar installations and missile launch sites perceived as imminent threats to regional shipping. Oil prices rose by 3% following the escalation, as international concerns grew over the potential collapse of ongoing regional negotiations.
