The United States says it carries out strikes on Iranian military sites in response to what it calls aggressive Iranian actions near the Strait of Hormuz, including the shooting down of a US MQ-1 drone operating over international waters. U.S. Central Command says it struck radar-related targets and other military capabilities on Iran’s Gulf coast.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard responds by saying it targets US bases in the region, describing its actions as retaliation. Multiple reports cite Iran’s claim that it struck a US-used air base after US strikes, and other accounts mention claims involving the Fifth Fleet headquarters and regional airbase. Reporting also notes attacks are taking place alongside ongoing negotiations and as the wider hostilities continue despite earlier efforts to reduce fighting.
Across the outlets, the core sequence is consistent: the US conducts weekend strikes against Iranian military assets; Iran announces retaliatory attacks against US facilities; both sides frame their actions as responses to prior incidents involving drones and other operations near the Strait of Hormuz.
