WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. military forces successfully intercepted multiple Iranian missiles and drones targeting locations in the Middle East on Tuesday, according to U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM).
CENTCOM said Iran launched several ballistic missiles toward neighboring countries, but none reached their intended targets.
Missiles Intercepted Over Kuwait and Bahrain
According to the military, two missiles fired toward Kuwait failed to strike their targets, while three missiles aimed at Bahrain were intercepted by U.S. and Bahraini air defense systems.
No injuries or damage to U.S. personnel or assets were reported.
Drone Attacks Thwarted
CENTCOM also reported that a second wave of Iranian drones targeting U.S. forces in Kuwait failed to hit their objectives. American air defense systems shot down multiple drones before they could cause harm.
The military said additional Iranian drones launched toward civilian vessels traveling through regional waters were also intercepted.
U.S. Conducts Defensive Strike
In response to the attacks, U.S. forces carried out what CENTCOM described as a self-defense strike on Iran’s Qeshm Island. The operation targeted an Iranian military ground control station believed to be involved in coordinating drone activity.
No U.S. Casualties Reported
Military officials said all American personnel remained safe throughout the attacks and subsequent response operations.
The incidents mark another escalation in regional tensions as U.S. forces continue to monitor security threats across the Middle East.
