On June 2, CENTCOM said US forces repelled multiple ballistic missiles and one-way attack drones launched by Iran and carried out a "self-defense" strike on an Iranian military ground control station on Qeshm Island. CENTCOM said Iran fired several ballistic missiles at neighboring states but none hit intended targets: two missiles aimed at Kuwait failed to reach target areas or disintegrated in flight, and three missiles aimed at Bahrain were intercepted by US and Bahraini air defenses. Earlier, CENTCOM forces shot down three Iran-launched one-way attack drones that were heading toward commercial vessels in regional waters. No US personnel were injured. CENTCOM said forces will remain on heightened alert and ready to deter further Iranian aggression during the current ceasefire.
