The United States military conducted strikes on Iranian radar facilities located in Goruk and on Qeshm Island after intercepting four Iranian drones that posed a threat to maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz. This action marks a significant escalation in ongoing tensions between the US and Iran, which have been under a fragile ceasefire since April 8. President Donald Trump stated that Iran's military capabilities have been significantly reduced, estimating that they have only about 21% of their missiles left, a claim contradicted by intelligence suggesting Iran has regained operational access to 30 of its 33 missile sites. Concurrently, Iran's military claimed to have launched warning missiles toward US naval vessels, which the US military rejected. In Lebanon, President Joseph Aoun criticized Iran's influence and its use of Lebanon as leverage in negotiations with the US, calling for diplomacy to resolve conflicts with Israel. A ceasefire understanding was reached between Lebanese and Israeli representatives, emphasizing the need for a cessation of Hezbollah attacks, although it does not require Israel to halt its military actions.
