Kuwait hit as US strikes Iran radar sites in weekend escalation
TL;DR
The US says it struck Iranian radar and command-and-control sites over the weekend in retaliation for Iran’s actions, including the shootdown of a US MQ-1 drone, marking a third breach of the April ceasefire. Kuwait reports air defences intercepting missiles and drones as sirens sound, and Israel says it intercepted an aerial target fired from Lebanon, underscoring a widening regional escalation as diplomacy persists to restore Hormuz shipping and a lasting ceasefire.
