The US has said it struck Iranian military sites over the weekend while Tehran said it responded by targeting an American base, marking the third known escalations in a week around the Strait of Hormuz.
US Central Command (Centcom) said it launched “self-defence strikes” in response to “aggressive Iranian actions”, which it said included a US drone being shot down over international waters. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it had targeted an air base used by US forces for an attack on southern Iran, without specifying the location.
Meanwhile, Kuwait, which hosts a US base, said its air defence system was “confronting hostile missile and drone attacks” without providing further detail.
Trump urged his critics to “sit back and relax” in a post on Truth Social early on Monday, saying it would “all work out well in the end”. He stated that Iran “really wants to make a deal, and it will be a good one for the USA .
The strikes mark the latest exchange between the two sides after negotiations on a deal to end their months-long war failed to advance over the weekend, with US media reporting President Trump had requested changes to its terms.
