The US military said the attacks were in response to four Iranian "one-way attack drones" launched towards the Strait of Hormuz, which it said "posed an immediate threat to regional maritime traffic". The drones were shot down, US Central Command (Centcom) said.

Tehran called the US strikes a "flagrant" violation of the ceasefire agreement between the two countries.

Iran retaliated by firing ballistic missiles at two US air bases in Kuwait, and US Navy facilities in Bahrain, Iran's Irib news agency reported.

Bahrain and Kuwait both condemned the attacks, saying the drone and missile fire had been successfully repelled.
