EU derriba cuatro drones iraníes; destruye radares en el estrecho de Ormuz

United States forces intercepted and destroyed four Iranian drones that posed an immediate threat to commercial navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, U.S. Central Command announced Friday. The drones were launched toward the strategic maritime passage, a critical route for global oil trade.

In response to the drone threat, U.S. forces subsequently targeted Iranian coastal radar surveillance installations. These strikes were carried out at locations in Goruk and on Qeshm Island, with the stated aim of preventing further Iranian actions. This military engagement escalates the already significant tensions between Washington and Tehran.

The incident marks the latest in a series of confrontations near the vital Strait of Hormuz over the past three weeks. Despite these exchanges, Washington maintains that a ceasefire remains in effect since April. The U.S. military's actions underscore the volatile security situation in the region, where a substantial portion of the world's oil commerce transits.

Adding to the complex geopolitical climate, U.S. President Donald Trump commented on the ongoing situation with Iran in an interview. He stated that the U.S. was "acting very quickly" in its actions against Iran, noting that nearly 100 days had passed since initial attacks were launched, despite an earlier projected timeline of four to six weeks for resolution.
