Tehran, June 1 /Xin Hua/ — American troops carried out “self-defense strikes” on radar and unmanned aerial vehicle control points in certain areas of Iran in the past few hours. This was reported by the United States Central Command /CENTCOM/ on Monday.
The strikes were carried out on Saturday and Sunday in response to the “aggressive actions of Iran,” including the destruction of an American MQ-1 drone by Iran, reported CENTCOM.
“American fighters responded promptly, destroying Iranian air defense systems, a ground control station, and two kamikaze drones that posed a clear threat to ships crossing regional waters,” the statement said.
In response, the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) stated on Monday that a strike was carried out on the airbase from which American forces launched an attack on a telecommunications tower on Sirik Island; furthermore, all pre-appointed targets were destroyed, the Iranian semi-official news agency Mehr reported.
In addition, CSIR threatened the USA with a more extensive response in case of repeated aggression, emphasizing that full responsibility for any such escalation lies with the United States.
It is reported that Iran and the United States are working on concluding a memorandum of understanding on the cessation of the war that began on February 28 with joint attacks by the United States and Israel on Iran. –0–
