Kochi: Iranian military sites were hit, said the US while Tehran claimed to have responded by targeting a US base around the Strait of Hormuz.
The US Central Command (Centcom) said it launched “self-defence strikes” in response to “aggressive Iranian actions”, and Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it had targeted an air base used by US forces for an attack on Iran, BBC reported.
Centcom said two Iranian ballistic missiles targeting US forces in Kuwait were intercepted.
Kuwait earlier said its forces had confronted “hostile” missiles and drones.
In a post on Truth Social early on Monday, US President Donald Trump said it would “all work out well in the end”.
Negotiations between US and Iran failed to end their months-long war, with US media reporting Trump had requested changes to its terms on navigation through the Strait of Hormuz and the removal of highly enriched uranium from Iran. Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman said the US was “constantly changing its views and putting forward new or contradictory demands”. The country’s chief negotiator had said on Sunday that Tehran would not agree to any deal unless Iranian rights were fully secured.
Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araghchi echoed this in an X post on Monday, writing: “The ceasefire between Iran and the US is unequivocally a ceasefire on all fronts, including in Lebanon.”
“The US and Israel are responsible for the consequences of any violation,” he added.
Lebanon was drawn into the war between the US, Israel and Iran on March2.
The Iran-backed group Hezbollah launched rockets into Israel in retaliation for an Israeli strike that killed Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, BBC said.
