The US military is confirming that Iran fired multiple ballistic missiles and drones tonight at both Kuwait and Bahrain, but they were all intercepted or fell short of their targets.
Here’s the news from CENTCOM:
U.S. forces successfully defeated multiple Iranian ballistic missiles and drones, and conducted self-defense strikes on Qeshm Island in response to attempted attacks by Iran across the Middle East, June 2.
Iran launched several ballistic missiles toward regional neighbors; however, all failed to hit their intended targets. Two Iranian missiles fired at Kuwait fell short or broke apart enroute, and three missiles launched at Bahrain were immediately intercepted by U.S. and Bahrain air defense forces.
Moments earlier, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces shot down three one-way attack drones launched by Iran toward civilian mariners that were rightfully transiting regional waters. American forces also conducted self-defense strikes on an Iranian military ground control station on Qeshm Island.
No U.S. personnel were harmed. CENTCOM forces remain vigilant and ready to defend against unwarranted Iranian aggression during the ongoing ceasefire.
How long will Trump tolerate this type of aggression from the IRGC? That’s what I really want to know, because even if Trump makes a deal with Iranian leadership, I don’t think they’ll be able or willing to stop the IRGC.
Time to take out these terrorists, in my humble opinion.
