American forces intercepted and shot down four drones launched by Iran toward the Strait of Hormuz, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) said Friday, Anadolu reports. “Moments ago, CENTCOM forces shot down four Iranian one-way attack drones that were launched toward the Strait of Hormuz,” CENTCOM wrote on US social media company X. Arguing that “the attack drones posed an immediate threat to regional maritime traffic,” CENTCOM noted that “U.S. forces subsequently struck Iranian coastal surveillance radar sites in Goruk and on Qeshm Island to defend against further attacks.” “American forces remain vigilant and postured to respond to unjustified Iranian aggression in self-defense,” it added.
