US says it struck Iranian radar sites as Iran targets American forces in Kuwait

The US has said it hit Iranian military sites over the weekend while Tehran said it responded by targeting a US base, marking the third escalation in a week around the Strait of Hormuz.

US Central Command (Centcom) said it launched "self-defence strikes" in response to "aggressive Iranian actions", which included a US drone being shot down over international waters.

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it had targeted an air base used by US forces for an attack on Iran.
Centcom said two Iranian ballistic missiles targeting US forces in Kuwait had been intercepted and "no American personnel were harmed". read more
