U.S. Airstrikes on Iranian Targets Following Attacks in Strait of Hormuz
U.S. Central Command launched a series of airstrikes against 10 Iranian military targets on June 28, 2026, including missile storage and radar facilities near the Strait of Hormuz. The action retaliated for an Iranian drone strike on the Panama-flagged tanker Kiku. In response, the IRGC launched drone and ballistic missile attacks targeting the U.S. Fifth Fleet base in Bahrain and Ali Al Salem Airbase in Kuwait on June 29, threatening to suspend ceasefire negotiations and escalating regional tensions.
