US strikes Iranian radar sites near Strait of Hormuz

The US military shot down four Iranian drones and struck coastal radar installations after the drones threatened maritime traffic near the Strait of Hormuz, escalating a tense standoff that is now straining ceasefire efforts. The exchange marks one of the most direct US-Iran military confrontations in the region in recent memory, with Kuwait also reportedly coming under attack. US Central Command confirmed the operation on social media, citing an "immediate threat to regional maritime traffic."
