he US military has carried out strikes on Iran, targeting a military site in Bandar Abbas, a strategic port city.

In response, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it had targeted a US air base, without providing details of its location.

Kuwait, which hosts a US air base, said its air defences were intercepting “hostile missile and drone threats”, but did not specify where they were coming from.
