The Iranian Revolutionary Guards, on the other hand, announced that their air force attacked an unspecified air base, which, according to them, was used in the American attack on the telecommunications tower on the island of Sirik. The United States has not yet confirmed this. The mutual attacks are taking place after both sides signed a cease-fire in April, German Focus reminds.
The two countries also fired at each other last week, when Iran attacked an American airbase after the American military carried out strikes aimed at an Iranian drone operation near the Strait of Hormuz.
Meanwhile, Kuwait announced on Monday morning that it was facing missile and drone attacks. The air defense is activated, the general staff of the army announced on the X social network. The sounds of the explosions were related to the fact that the strikes were intercepted.
The war in the Middle East was unleashed on February 28 by the USA and Israel with air attacks on Iran. Tehran responded with strikes on the Persian Gulf states and US military facilities in the region. A fragile ceasefire has been in effect in the area since April 8, the further extension of which is still under discussion.
In response to the American-Israeli attack, Tehran also largely blocked traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, where important world supplies of oil, oil products and liquefied natural gas (LNG) flowed before the war.
