Tensions have escalated in the Strait of Hormuz as U.S. and Iranian forces clashed. The U.S. Central Command reported shooting down four Iranian attack drones that posed a threat to maritime traffic. In retaliation, U.S. forces struck Iranian coastal surveillance radar sites on Goruk and Qeshm islands. Conversely, Iranian state media reported that their forces fired shots near Larak Island in response to U.S. naval movements, while dismissing claims of strikes on Bandar Abbas as baseless. Both nations continue to assert their defensive positions as peace agreements remain stalled. https://sambad.in/india-and-beyond/iran-drone-attack-hormuz-us-retaliation-strait-tensions-12006593 #creator program
