WASHINGTON, June 5 (Reuters) – The U.S. military said it carried out strikes on Iranian radar sites on Friday in what it called a defensive action after Iran launched four attack drones toward the Strait of Hormuz.
The U.S. military shot down all of the Iranian drones, saying they “posed an immediate threat to regional maritime traffic.” It said the Iranian coastal surveillance radar sites targeted by the U.S. were located in Goruk and on Qeshm Island.
