The United States carried out strikes on Iranian radar installations and drone command-and-control facilities over the weekend, marking a significant escalation in tensions between Washington and Tehran. According to the US Central Command (CENTCOM), the operation targeted military sites in Goruk and on Qeshm Island in Iran. The US military described the action as a self-defence measure following the reported downing of an American MQ-1 drone. In a statement posted on X, CENTCOM said the strikes were aimed at radar systems and drone-related command infrastructure linked to Iranian military operations. The development adds to growing regional tensions and raises concerns about further escalation between the two countries. (PC: Daily Mail)
