Arabic version: الولايات المتحدة تشن ضربات على إيران بعد هجمات صاروخية

The US military has confirmed that it conducted strikes on Iran’s Qeshm Island, citing self-defense in response to missile and drone attacks launched by Iran targeting US bases in Kuwait and Bahrain.

According to Al Jazeera, the US maintains that a ceasefire agreement with Iran remains in effect despite the recent military exchanges. The situation underscores the fragile state of relations and the potential for further conflict in the region.

The US strikes are characterized as defensive measures aimed at protecting its personnel and interests in the Gulf. The Iranian attacks were reportedly aimed at destabilizing US presence in the area, raising concerns over regional security.

This incident marks a significant escalation in hostilities, with both nations on high alert as diplomatic efforts to ease tensions continue to face challenges.
