The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of Iran has launched a\nretaliatory attack against military facilities used by United States\n(US) forces. This move follows Washington\u2019s strikes on several targets\nin Iran over the previous weekend.<\/p>\n
In its statement, the IRGC claimed the attack was a response to US\nmilitary strikes on a communication tower on Sirik Island, Hormozlar\nProvince. According to the IRGC, the airbase identified as the source of\nthe US attacks was targeted by Iranian Air Force fighter jets.<\/p>\n
\u201cFollowing the aggression of US troops against the communication\ntower on Sirik Island in Hormozgan Province one hour ago, IRGC Air Force\nfighter jets targeted the airbase from which the aggression originated,\nand the predicted targets were destroyed,\u201d stated the IRGC, as reported\nby Fars News Agency on Monday (1\/6\/2026). However, Iran did not disclose\nthe specific location of the targeted base.<\/p>\n
Simultaneously, Kuwait reported that its air defence systems\nsuccessfully intercepted several missiles and drones passing through its\nairspace. Warning sirens were heard across various regions of Kuwait\nduring the incident.<\/p>\n
The Kuwaiti Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly condemned the\nIranian attacks that entered its territory. The Kuwaiti government\nassessed that such actions could exacerbate the security situation in a\nregion that is already in a vulnerable state.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Ministry emphasises that the continuation and repetition of this\naggression undermines efforts aimed at easing tensions and threatens the\nsecurity and stability of the region,\u201d the ministry stated, as quoted by\nAl Jazeera on Tuesday (2\/6\/2026).<\/p>\n
Previously, the US admitted to attacking Iranian targets in response\nto Tehran\u2019s downing of a US MQ-1 drone operating over international\nwaters. US Central Command (CENTCOM) stated that the strikes destroyed\nIranian air defence systems, ground control stations, and two attack\ndrones deemed a threat to regional shipping.<\/p>\n
CENTCOM also confirmed that no US military personnel were injured\nduring the Iranian retaliation. Washington stated it would continue to\nprotect its assets and interests during the ongoing ceasefire\nperiod.<\/p>\n
This latest series of exchanges occurs while indirect negotiations\nbetween the US and Iran continue. Both parties are reportedly discussing\na Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that could extend the ceasefire for\n60 days and pave the way for more permanent peace talks.<\/p>\n
According to several US media reports, the draft MoU includes\nguarantees for freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz without\nhindrance or additional levies. Iran is also reportedly given 30 days to\nclear all sea mines in the area and has committed not to develop nuclear\nweapons.<\/p>\n
Iranian state media reported that the draft agreement also includes\nplans for the release of frozen Iranian state assets valued at US$12\nbillion. However, the White House denied these reports, calling them\nfabricated information.<\/p>\n
Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei stated that the\ndiplomatic process is moving slowly due to high levels of mistrust\nbetween the two sides. He noted that changing attitudes and shifting\ndemands from Washington are factors complicating the negotiations.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump expressed optimism that a deal\ncould be reached. In a post on Truth Social, Trump stated that Iran\n\u201creally wants to make a deal\u201d and believes the final outcome of the\nnegotiations will benefit the US and its allies.<\/p>\n
