President Donald Trump announced "major combat operations" against Iran on Feb. 28, with massive joint U.S.-Israeli strikes targeting military, government and infrastructure sites.

Following the announcement of a two-week ceasefire, initial U.S.-Iran talks in Pakistan in April failed to reach a peace deal.

Trump later announced the open-ended extension of the ceasefire and the continuation of a U.S. blockade until negotiations are concluded "one way or the other."

US intercepts Iranian missiles launched toward Kuwait, Bahrain: CENTCOM

U.S. forces helped shoot down incoming Iranian missiles and drones shot toward Kuwait and Bahrain, U.S. Central Command said.

The barrage fired at Iran's Gulf neighbors -- a total of seven ballistic missiles -- came hours after U.S. forces shot down four Iranian one-way attack drones that had been launched toward the Strait of Hormuz, CENTCOM said in a social media post.

“Initial assessments indicate six of the missiles launched by Iran were intercepted and a seventh did not reach its intended target," the post stated. "There are currently no reports of harm to U.S. personnel, and Iranian claims of damaging U.S. 5th fleet headquarters in Bahrain are false."

CENTCOM said the earlier launch of Iran's attack drones "posed an immediate threat to regional maritime traffic" and, in response, the U.S. struck Iranian coastal surveillance radar sites in Goruk and on Qeshm Island to "defend against further maritime attacks."

US shoots down 4 drones, strikes Iranian sites: CENTCOM

The U.S. military recently shot down four Iranian drones that had been launched toward the Strait of Hormuz, U.S. Central Command said Friday.

"The attack drones posed an immediate threat to regional maritime traffic," CENTCOM said.

In response, CENTCOM said U.S. forces struck "Iranian coastal surveillance radar sites" in the city of Goruk and on Qeshm Island "to defend against further attacks."

This is the latest incident during the ceasefire where CENTCOM has said it defended against an Iranian action and then launched strikes at Iranian targets.

Iran Foreign Ministry condemns alleged US attacks on tanker, Qeshm Tower

The Iranian Foreign Ministry claimed the U.S. carried out attacks on an Iranian oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz and a telecommunications tower on Qeshm Island, and that these operations were launched from Kuwait and Bahrain.

Iran condemned the incidents as violations of a previous ceasefire agreement and of international law, specifically citing the UN Charter’s prohibition on the use of force.

The statement also accuses Kuwait and Bahrain of enabling the attacks by allowing their territory or facilities to be used, and argues that this makes them partially responsible under international law.

Iran also said that any country assisting such actions would be violating principles of good neighborliness and could be considered complicit in aggression against Iran, placing ultimate responsibility on the U.S. and its alleged partners.

IAEA’s Grossi seems to indicate that US, Iran are close to agreeing to nuclear framework

The International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Rafael Grossi indicated that discussions with Iran may be moving toward a preliminary nuclear framework, but outcomes remain uncertain.

The main obstacle to resuming full nuclear verification in Iran is the lack of consistent access for inspectors following recent disruptions, even though Iran remains legally bound to cooperate, Grossi said during a press conference Friday.

On Iran’s 60% enriched uranium, Grossi said there are several technically feasible options -- such as exporting it, diluting it, or keeping it under IAEA control -- but these are ultimately political decisions. He stressed that no arrangement can proceed without first re-establishing a verified baseline of material on the ground, and while the current assumption is that the uranium remains in place, the IAEA has not independently confirmed its status after recent attacks.

IDF says it has identified missiles fired at Israel from Iran

Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it identified missiles launched from Iran toward Israel on Sunday and was activating its defensive systems to intercept the threat.

The Iran missile attack on Israel followed strikes carried out by the IDF this weekend on Iran-backed Hezbollah militant targets in southern Beirut, Lebanon.

The alleged missile attack aimed at Israel came just hours after Iranian lawmaker Ebrahim Rezaei promised a "decisive and painful response" to Israel’s airstrikes on southern Beirut on Sunday.

Rezaei, spokesman for the Security and Foreign Policy Committee of Iran’s Parliament, issued a statement on social media, threatening, "This rabid dog must be disciplined and put in its place. Look at the sky of the occupied territories tonight."

IDF sent out a precautionary directive to mobile phones of residents in the area targeted by Iran, asking them to act responsibly and follow instructions to save lives.

Upon receiving an alert, the public is being instructed to enter a protected space and remain there until further notice.
