CENTCOM says US forces have defended against new, aggressive Iranian behavior

The United States Central Command said Tuesday night that U.S. forces have successfully defended itself against aggressive Iranian behavior and countered with self-defense strikes on Qeshm Island in the Persian Gulf.The U.S. military said Iran launched several ballistic missiles toward regional neighbors in the Middle East, which all failed to hit their targets of Bahrain and Kuwait. 
American forces also shot down three one-way attack drones that were launched toward civilian mariners in regional waters and conducted self-defense strikes on an Iranian military ground control station on the island.
“No U.S. personnel were harmed,” CENTCOM said in a post on X. “CENTCOM forces remain vigilant and ready to defend against unwarranted Iranian aggression during the ongoing ceasefire.”
The attacks come after reports emerged this week that Iran had suspended peace negotiations with the U.S. due to the continued fighting in Lebanon, which Tehran said was included in the ceasefire.
President Donald Trump has denied the reports, stating that negotiations had continued uninterrupted.
