U.S. forces intercept Iranian missiles and drones launched toward the Strait of Hormuz and neighboring Gulf states, the U.S. military reports, and then carry out retaliatory strikes. Across reports, Iran launches multiple one-way attack drones and ballistic missiles aimed at regional maritime traffic and nearby countries. The U.S. Central Command says it downs several drones and intercepts other missile launches associated with the attack wave. In response, U.S. forces strike Iranian coastal surveillance and radar sites. Multiple outlets describe the targets as coastal radar or coastal surveillance locations, including sites on or near Qeshm Island and another location identified as Goruk. The U.S. military says the purpose of the strikes is to prevent further maritime operations and threats to shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and the surrounding region. The reports also frame the exchange as part of a renewed flare-up between the United States and Iran that complicates efforts to de-escalate. Details such as exact numbers vary by outlet, but all describe the same sequence: Iranian launches, U.S. intercepts and shootdowns, followed by U.S. strikes against coastal radar sites.
