The United States military said it attacked radar sites on Iran\u2019s southern coast Friday in the latest flare-up to threaten the ceasefire in the Mideast war.<\/p>\n
US Central Command said in a statement that its forces shot down four Iranian one-way attack drones launched toward the Strait of Hormuz, then attacked Iranian coastal surveillance radar sites in the city of Goruk and on Qeshm Island.<\/p>\n
\u2018The attack drones posed an immediate threat to regional maritime traffic,\u2019 while the strikes on radar installations \u2018defend against further attacks,\u2019 the statement said.<\/p>\n
Iranian state broadcaster IRIB reported on Saturday that \u2018several explosions were heard\u2019 in Sirik in southern Iran at about 2:30am.<\/p>\n
\u2018No official source has commented on the origin of the sound or its details,\u2019 the broadcaster said on Telegram.<\/p>\n
Kuwait\u2019s military said early Saturday it was responding to \u2018hostile\u2019 missile and drone attacks, days after a strike on the country\u2019s international airport killed one and wounded dozens.<\/p>\n
\u2018Kuwaiti air defenses are currently responding to hostile missile and drone attacks,\u2019 the military said on X, without specifying their origin.<\/p>\n
A ceasefire has been in place between the United States and Iran since April 8, but subsequent talks to try to put a more permanent end to the conflict have so far been unsuccessful.<\/p>\n
US president Donald Trump is under pressure to find a way out of the war, which has delivered a shock to markets and proven unpopular at home as midterm elections loom.<\/p>\n
Trump acknowledged in an interview with NBC News late Friday that Iran still has war-fighting capacity.<\/p>\n
\u2018They have some missiles, they have some drones. I would say, percentage wise, maybe 21, 22 per cent of their missiles,\u2019 Trump said.<\/p>\n
Iran\u2019s military said Friday it had fired \u2018warning missiles\u2019 at two US destroyers in the Gulf of Oman \u2014 a claim promptly denied by the US military.<\/p>\n
Two days earlier, Kuwait said it had intercepted 30 ballistic missiles fired as part of \u2018heinous Iranian aggression.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Iranians stand next to a symbol of a Kheibar missile as they take part…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":687450,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[23,116784,116783,116781,116778,116780,116777,116782,116779,116775,3,116776,21,19,22,20,25,24],"class_list":["post-687449","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-states","tag-america","tag-bangla-online-news","tag-bangladesh-latest-news","tag-bangladesh-news","tag-bangladesh-newspaper","tag-bangladeshi-newspapers","tag-daily-new-age","tag-latest-bangladesh-news","tag-most-popular-outspoken-english-daily-newpaper-in-bangladesh","tag-new-age","tag-news","tag-the-new-age","tag-united-states","tag-united-states-of-america","tag-unitedstates","tag-unitedstatesofamerica","tag-us","tag-usa"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/687449","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=687449"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/687449\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/687450"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=687449"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=687449"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=687449"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
