US Launches Strikes On Iranian Radar, Telecom Facilities As Peace Talks Continue Published By, Last Updated: June 01, 2026, 10:14 IST United States strikes Iranian radar and telecommunications facilities, targeting key military infrastructure and escalating tensions between the two countries Rapid Read Birds fly as smoke rises following an explosion, after Israel and the US launched strikes on Iran (Reuters image) The United States carried out strikes on Iranian radar installations and drone command-and-control facilities over the weekend, the US military said on Sunday. In a statement posted on X, US Central Command (CENTCOM) said the operation targeted sites in Goruk and on Qeshm Island in Iran.
According to CENTCOM, the strikes were conducted in self-defence following the downing of a US MQ-1 drone. “U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) conducted self-defense strikes on Iranian radar and command and control sites for drones in Goruk, Iran and Qeshm Island this weekend," the military command said. CENTCOM added that the action was taken in response to the shootdown of the American drone. Meanwhile, in a separate development, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said on Monday that it had targeted a military base allegedly used by the United States to launch attacks on Iranian territory. The Guards did not disclose the location of the base in the statement carried by state broadcaster IRIB and other Iranian media outlets.
The claim came hours after Kuwait’s military said its air defence systems had been activated in response to incoming drones and missiles. “The General Staff of the Army wishes to advise that any sounds of explosions heard are the result of air defense systems intercepting these hostile attacks," the Kuwait Army said in a post on its official X account. According to KUNA, the state news agency, air raid sirens rang across the Gulf nation, despite a US-Iran ceasefire in place.
