U.S. Central Command: "CENTCOM forces intercepted missiles and drones launched by Iran"

Machine translation:
Tampa, Florida — On June 5, U.S. forces intercepted several Iranian ballistic missiles and drones that were launched by Iran towards the Strait of Hormuz and neighboring countries in the Persian Gulf.

Just hours after U.S. Central Command, CENTCOM, shot down four Iranian one-way attack drones that were launched towards the Strait of Hormuz, Iran fired seven ballistic missiles towards Kuwait and Bahrain. These attack drones posed an immediate threat to maritime traffic in the region. U.S. forces then targeted Iranian coastal surveillance radar sites in Gork and Qeshm Island to defend against further maritime attacks.

Initial assessments indicate that six of the missiles launched by Iran were intercepted, and the seventh missile did not reach its intended target. Currently, there are no reports of injuries to U.S. forces, and Iran's claims of inflicting damage on the U.S. Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain are false.

CENTCOM forces remain vigilant and fully prepared to respond to Iran's unwarranted aggressions within the framework of self-defense.
