Iran live updates: US strikes Iranian radar sites after drones fired toward strait

President Donald Trump announced "major combat operations" against Iran on Feb. 28, with massive joint U.S.-Israeli strikes targeting military, government and infrastructure sites.

Following the announcement of a two-week ceasefire, initial U.S.-Iran talks in Pakistan in April failed to reach a peace deal.

Trump later announced the open-ended extension of the ceasefire and the continuation of a U.S. blockade until negotiations are concluded "one way or the other."

The U.S. military recently shot down four Iranian drones that had been launched toward the Strait of Hormuz, U.S. Central Command said Friday.

"The attack drones posed an immediate threat to regional maritime traffic," CENTCOM said.

In response, CENTCOM said U.S. forces struck "Iranian coastal surveillance radar sites" in the city of Goruk and on Qeshm Island "to defend against further attacks."

This is the latest incident during the ceasefire where CENTCOM has said it defended against an Iranian action and then launched strikes at Iranian targets.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry claimed the U.S. carried out attacks on an Iranian oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz and a telecommunications tower on Qeshm Island, and that these operations were launched from Kuwait and Bahrain.

Iran condemned the incidents as violations of a previous ceasefire agreement and of international law, specifically citing the UN Charter’s prohibition on the use of force.

The statement also accuses Kuwait and Bahrain of enabling the attacks by allowing their territory or facilities to be used, and argues that this makes them partially responsible under international law.

Iran also said that any country assisting such actions would be violating principles of good neighborliness and could be considered complicit in aggression against Iran, placing ultimate responsibility on the U.S. and its alleged partners.

The International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Rafael Grossi indicated that discussions with Iran may be moving toward a preliminary nuclear framework, but outcomes remain uncertain.

On Iran’s 60% enriched uranium, Grossi said there are several technically feasible options -- such as exporting it, diluting it, or keeping it under IAEA control -- but these are ultimately political decisions. He stressed that no arrangement can proceed without first re-establishing a verified baseline of material on the ground, and while the current assumption is that the uranium remains in place, the IAEA has not independently confirmed its status after recent attacks.
