Tensions in the Gulf continue to escalate as the United States says it shot down two Iranian drones that allegedly threatened international maritime traffic near the Strait of Hormuz. According to US Central Command (CENTCOM), the drones posed a risk to one of the world’s most important shipping lanes. The latest incident comes days after US forces struck Iranian surveillance radar sites in Goruk and Qeshm, prompting retaliatory attacks by Tehran. Iran later launched missile and drone strikes targeting what it described as ‘enemy bases’ in Kuwait and Bahrain. CENTCOM said it intercepted six of the seven Iranian missiles fired during the attack. Bahrain condemned the strikes as ‘blatant aggression’, while Kuwait described them as a ‘dangerous escalation’. The developments come as the US-Iran conflict reaches its 100th day, raising concerns about regional stability and the security of global energy routes.
