AI Summary
Main Idea: The U.S. military carried out limited strikes in southern Iran, and Iran responded with a missile attack on a U.S. base in Kuwait as a shaky ceasefire came under more strain.
Key Points:
- U.S. officials said the strikes near Bandar Abbas were limited and aimed at drones that threatened U.S. forces and commercial shipping near the Strait of Hormuz.
- Iran’s Revolutionary Guard said it retaliated by targeting the U.S. base linked to the strikes, and warned of a more forceful response if attacks continue.
- Kuwait said it shot down the missile and reported no damage or casualties.
- President Donald Trump said no one would control the Strait of Hormuz and kept pushing Iran to reach a deal, even as both sides accused each other of violating the ceasefire.
