US Forces Conduct Self-Defense Strikes on Iran's Qeshm Island
U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) carried out targeted airstrikes against an Iranian military ground control station and radar sites on Qeshm Island on June 2. The operation was a response to Iranian attempts to launch ballistic missiles toward Kuwait and Bahrain and the deployment of attack drones against commercial vessels in the Arabian Sea. While Iranian missiles were intercepted or failed to reach their targets, U.S. officials emphasized that the strikes were necessary to ensure regional maritime security.
