CENTCOM said that Iran fired seven ballistic missiles towards Kuwait and Bahrain just hours after the US military shot down Iranian attack drones that were launched towards the Strait of Hormuz and also struck Iranian radar sites.
“Initial assessments indicate six of the missiles launched by Iran were intercepted and a seventh did not reach its intended target,” CENTCOM said.
“There are currently no reports of harm to US personnel, and Iranian claims of damaging US 5th fleet headquarters in Bahrain are false,” it added.
Iran’s IRGC has said that it attacked “enemy bases in the region”, hitting them with “aerospace missiles”, in a statement carried by Iran’s semi-official Tasnim news agency.
The IRGC said the attacks were in response to US army aggression against the Iranian city of Sirik and Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz.

Over recent hours, Iran and the US have again traded fire with Iran again saying it attacked “enemy bases in the region” while the US said it forces shot down four Iranian drones launched towards the Strait of Hormuz and struck “Iranian coastal surveillance radar sites” on Qeshm Island and Goruk on Iran’s southern coast.
ReplyDeleteThe US later said that seven Iranian missiles were fired at Kuwait and Bahrain but none had reached their intended targets.
The US military intercepted several ballistic missiles fired by Iran towards Kuwait and Bahrain, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) said.
ReplyDelete"Iran fired seven ballistic missiles toward Kuwait and Bahrain hours after US Central Command (CENTCOM) shot down four Iranian one-way attack drones that were launched toward the Strait of Hormuz," CENTCOM said on the X social network. "Initial assessments indicate six of the missiles launched by Iran were intercepted and a seventh did not reach its intended target."
During the first weeks of the US-Israeli attack on Iran, an Iranian missile strike rendered inoperable the US command center that ran America’s campaigns in the Middle East for over two decades, the Air and Space Forces Magazine reported.
ReplyDeleteCiting an unnamed senior US official and other informed sources, the magazine said the Combined Air Operations Center at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar was "severely damaged." It "took a direct hit" by "multiple Iranian missiles" during "the early weeks" of the US-Israeli war against Iran.
The command center was not in use during the Iranian bombing, and no casualties were reported. Its personnel was evacuated to Shaw Air Force Base in South Carolina beforehand, and the US military directed its campaign against Iran from there.
The US military has delivered strikes on radar sites in Iran's Goruk and on Qeshm Island, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) said.
ReplyDelete"US forces subsequently struck Iranian coastal surveillance radar sites in Goruk and on Qeshm Island," CENTCOM said on the X social network.
Also, the US military confirmed that it had downed four Iranian drones launched towards the Strait of Hormuz.
Military adviser to the Iranian supreme leader Mohsen Rezaee has warned of targeting US bases that have not yet been attacked in case Washington resumes the conflict.
ReplyDelete"We will give another dimension to the war by attacking these other American bases that we have been attacking so far," he said in an interview with CNN.
According to Rezaee, if the United States resumes hostilities, Iran will "drag the war" beyond the Persian Gulf, expanding military operations from the Strait of Hormuz to the Indian Ocean, the Bab al-Mandab Strait, the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea.
He added however that that "the possibility of war is low."
The US military said it carried out strikes on Iranian radar sites, calling it a “defensive action”, the latest in a series of tit-for-tat clashes between Iranian and US forces in the Strait of Hormuz.

ReplyDeleteComunicato del CENTCOM:
Delete«Le forze della CENTCOM hanno abbattuto quattro droni d'attacco unidirezionali iraniani che erano stati lanciati verso lo Stretto di Hormuz. I droni d'attacco rappresentavano una minaccia immediata per il traffico marittimo regionale. Le forze statunitensi hanno successivamente colpito siti radar di sorveglianza costiera iraniani a Goruk e sull'Isola di Qeshm per difendersi da ulteriori attacchi.
Le forze americane rimangono vigili e pronte a rispondere all'aggressione iraniana ingiustificata in legittima difesa».

ReplyDeleteEsta madrugada, fuerzas iraníes atacaron con misiles la base aérea estadounidense Ali al Salem en Kuwait e instalaciones "importantes" de la Quinta Flota de la Armada de Estados Unidos en Baréin, informa el Cuerpo de la Guardia Revolucionaria Islámica de Irán.
ReplyDelete"A las 01:30 de hoy, cuatro petroleros no autorizados, provocados y dirigidos por el Ejército invasor de EE. UU., intentaron salir ilegalmente del estrecho de Ormuz sin coordinación y sin atender las advertencias emitidas por la Marina del CGRI. Tras la advertencia, uno de los petroleros fue alcanzado y detenido, y las otras embarcaciones infractoras retrocedieron", informó el organismo militar en un comunicado divulgado por medios iraníes.
Después de ese incidente, se informa, "drones estadounidenses atacaron una instalación de comunicaciones en Qeshm y otra en Sirik, con dos proyectiles".
DeleteEn respuesta, "dos bases aéreas estadounidenses en Kuwait, llamadas Ali al Salem, e instalaciones importantes en la base naval de la Quinta Flota de EE. UU. en Bahréin, fueron atacadas con fuego de misiles balísticos por la Fuerza Aeroespacial del CGRI".
La organización militar advirtió a Washington que si sus actos hostiles se repiten, la respuesta no será limitada y EE.UU. será "responsable de las consecuencias del cierre total del estrecho de Ormuz a sus exportaciones de petróleo y gas".
