US CENTCOM Forces Intercept Iranian Missiles and Drones in the Persian Gulf
On June 5 and 6, 2026, US Central Command (CENTCOM) forces intercepted seven ballistic missiles launched from Iran toward Kuwait and Bahrain, along with four one-way attack drones aimed at the Strait of Hormuz. In retaliation, US forces conducted strikes against Iranian coastal surveillance radar sites in Goruk and on Qeshm Island. These tit-for-tat exchanges occurred amid a fragile ceasefire and represent a significant escalation in the ongoing regional maritime conflict involving US and Iranian forces.
