(AP file photo)US-Iran War LIVE: A fragile ceasefire has collapsed into a dangerous new phase of direct military confrontation after US forces launched airstrikes against Iranian surveillance installations on Qeshm Island and in Goruk.
The defensive action, executed by US Central Command, came in immediate response to the interception of four Iranian attack drones that Washington claims were actively targeting commercial maritime traffic near the critical Strait of Hormuz chokepoint.
While Kuwaiti air defences successfully engaged the incoming salvos, resulting in falling debris over residential zones but no immediate casualties, Bahraini authorities triggered emergency sirens, forcing citizens into shelters.
Tehran has fiercely condemned the US operations, declaring that Washington has shattered the April 8 truce and must bear total responsibility for the consequences.

Tehran has fiercely condemned the US operations, declaring that Washington has shattered the April 8 truce and must bear total responsibility for the consequences.
