Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said early Thursday they struck the American base used for the latest U.S. attack on Bandar Abbas, warning any new strike would draw a “more decisive” response.
U.S. forces had earlier shot down 4 Iranian attack drones over the Strait of Hormuz and then hit a drone ground-control station in Bandar Abbas before a fifth launch, calling the action self-defense.
Kuwait’s army said its air defenses were intercepting hostile drones and missiles on Thursday morning, though it gave no origin or casualty details.
The exchange further dims prospects for a near-term Strait of Hormuz deal after the White House rejected Iran’s reported 14-point draft, and Treasury sanctioned Iran’s new Strait authority.
