Report: Iran Launches Missiles From Southern Region

U.S. forces intercepted four Iranian attack drones near the Strait of Hormuz and struck a Bandar Abbas launch site in a defensive operation aimed at maintaining the ceasefire between Washington and Tehran.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps says it has a “legitimate” right to respond to any “violation” of the ceasefire after the US military carried out what it called “self-defense strikes” targeting Iranian missile launch sites and boats.

Rubio told reporters on his plane in India's Jaipur that the Strait of Hormuz has to be open "one way or the other."

The United States and Iran are reportedly close to finalising a 60-day memorandum of understanding (MoU) that would pave the way for the reopening of the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz and the start of negotiations on Tehran’s nuclear programme and other outstanding issues.

According to the IDF, all indications are that Trump's Iran deal will largely or completely ignore the ballistic missile issue.

A spate of military strikes comes even as the White House projects confidence that a deal to end the three-month-long war is near.
