[U.S. Military Claims 'Defensive' Strike on Iran's Qeshm Island, Iran Launches Missiles at Neighboring Countries] BlockBeats News, June 3 – The U.S. Central Command announced that on June 2, the U.S. military successfully repelled multiple ballistic missiles and drones launched by Iran and conducted a 'defensive strike' on Qeshm Island in response to Iran's attempted attacks across the Middle East. Iran launched several ballistic missiles at its neighboring countries; however, none of the missiles hit their intended targets. Two Iranian missiles aimed at Kuwait failed to reach the target area, possibly disintegrating mid-flight, while three missiles aimed at Bahrain were intercepted immediately by U.S. and Bahraini air defense forces. Earlier, U.S. Central Command forces shot down three one-way attack drones launched by Iran, which were heading toward civilian vessels lawfully navigating the waters in the region. The U.S. military also carried out a defensive strike on an Iranian military ground control station located on Qeshm Island. No U.S. personnel were harmed. U.S. Central Command forces remain on high alert and are prepared to counter any unwarranted acts of aggression by Iran during the current ceasefire period. [Original Link]
