U.S. forces helped intercept Iranian missiles and conducted “self-defense” strikes on Qeshm Island, following “attempted attacks” by Iran in the Middle East on Tuesday, U.S. Central Command said.
“Iran launched several ballistic missiles toward regional neighbors; however, all failed to hit their intended targets,” CENTCOM said in a statement.
Two missiles launched at Kuwait were unsuccessful, while three fired at Bahrain were intercepted by U.S. and Bahrain air defense forces, CENTCOM said.
U.S. forces also shot down multiple attack drones launched by Iran “toward civilian mariners that were rightfully transiting regional waters,” CENTCOM said.
The self-defense strikes on Qeshm Island targeted an Iranian military ground control station, according to CENTCOM.
No U.S. personnel were harmed in the attacks, CENTCOM said.
