The US attacks a strategic island in Iran.

The U.S. military on June 5 (local time) attacked “coastal radar surveillance sites” in Iran after shooting down four Iranian drones, according to the U.S. Central Command.

“The attack drones posed an immediate threat to maritime traffic in the area. U.S. forces subsequently attacked Iranian coastal surveillance radar sites in Goruk and on Qeshm Island in defense of further attacks,” CENTCOM said in a post on X.

The military stated it would continue to respond to "Iran's unjustified aggression in self-defense."
