The USA claims that they have carried out new "defensive" military strikes in southern Iran.

The United States military conducted an operation on Wednesday evening in which it shot down four Iranian drones and attacked a ground control station in Bandar Abbas, which represented a "threat in the Strait of Hormuz."

An American official stated that these actions were strictly "defensive" and aimed at maintaining the ceasefire. This is the second American operation of this kind during the week. According to the source, the attack was carried out to prevent the launch of a fifth drone. Following these actions, Iranian media reported hearing three loud explosions near the city of Bandar Abbas. These events highlight the ongoing tensions in the region and security concerns.
