U.S. Central Command announced Monday that Iran launched two ballistic missiles overnight targeting U.S. forces in Kuwait. This is the latest in a series of attacks that further undermine a tenuous ceasefire.
The missile, launched at 11pm ET on Sunday night, was successfully intercepted and no U.S. military personnel were harmed, CENTCOM said on XPost.
“U.S. Central Command remains vigilant and will continue to protect U.S. forces from Iranian aggression while supporting the ongoing ceasefire,” the post said.
The attack followed “self-defense strikes against Iranian radar and drone command and control sites” that the United States announced over the weekend in response to an earlier invasion by Iran.
The active exchanges between the United States and Iran come as Israel steps up its military offensive against the Iranian-backed militia Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Iran has repeatedly said that Israeli attacks in Lebanon constitute a violation of the ceasefire with the United States. The ceasefire began as a two-week suspension in mid-April and was later extended indefinitely by President Donald Trump.
“It is clear that a ceasefire between Iran and the United States is a ceasefire on all fronts, including Lebanon,” Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told XPost on Monday morning.
“That violation on one front is a ceasefire violation on all fronts. The United States and Israel are responsible for the consequences of the violation,” he wrote.
