According to the IRGC, the Iranian armed forces disabled a US base in response to new strikes. Drones and missiles were intercepted over Kuwait on Thursday, the kingdom’s authorities said.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it targeted a US airbase in the region on Thursday in response to new strikes, marking the second armed clash between the rivals this week.
The latest confrontation
The latest confrontation began with reports of explosions shortly after midnight in Iran’s southern port city of Bandar Abbas, which is home to an Iranian naval base.
In a statement to the media, a US official said American forces shot down four Iranian kamikaze drones they claimed ’posed a threat around the Strait of Hormuz’.
The US armed forces also struck a ground control station in Bandar Abbas that it was claimed was about to launch a fifth drone.’
Measured?
The US official described the actions as ’measured, purely defensive, and intended to maintain the ceasefire.’
Hours later, several missiles and drones were intercepted over Kuwait, the kingdom’s Defense Ministry said.
Open-source analysts suggested that the projectiles may have been heading toward the US Ali Al Salem Air Base near the Kuwaiti-Iraqi border.

The IRGC later released a statement saying it targeted a US base involved in the earlier strike on a site near Bandar Abbas Airport. ’The aggressor bears full responsibility for the consequences,’ the statement said.
The hostilities followed the US ’self-defense’ strikes on Iranian naval vessels and sites in the southern Hormoz province on Monday. Tehran denounced the attacks as a gross violation of the ceasefire reached on April 8.
Although US officials indicated this week that the sides are close to reaching a preliminary peace agreement, there are no signs that either Washington or Tehran is willing to compromise.
Both countries have accused each other of setting unacceptable terms.

the US is really acting like Israel on this conflict (strikes after a ceasefire, claiming “self defense”) how much longer before we hear the idiots on fox news saying “America has a right to exist” or “America has a right to defend itself”

I don’t understand why Iran keeps coming back to “talks” with Washington. Washington’s documented history strongly suggest that US/Israeli aggression will not stop until Iran joins the ranks of US vassal states and their resources/sovereignty are plundered.
Washington and Israel are not “agreement capable”. They are a juggernaut bent on pillage and plunder. Together, they are an existential threat to nations around the globe.

Did you know that the purchasing power of the U.S. dollar has fallen by more than 97 percent since 1913? Sadly, as you will see below, the decline in the purchasing power of our currency appears to have greatly accelerated in recent years. Thanks to the rising cost of living, most Americans have lost faith in the American Dream. In fact, a new survey that was just released discovered that 51 percent of us believe that the American Dream is now out of reach for most people…
Just over half of Americans say the American Dream is out of reach for most people right now, according to a new CNBC and SurveyMonkey American Dream Pulse Survey.
Roughly 45% of respondents said the American Dream is only achievable for some people, and 6% said it’s not in reach for anyone, according to a study of 4,130 U.S. adults, conducted May 6 to 11.
I was stunned when I read that.
For decades, people have been moving to this country because they want to live the American Dream.
But now the majority of the U.S. population no longer believes that most of us will be able to achieve it.
Today, we have more money than ever.
So what’s the problem?
The problem is that the cost of living has been rising very rapidly. The same survey that I referenced above found that approximately 80 percent of us think that the cost of living is one of the primary obstacles to achieving the American Dream…
Roughly four in five survey respondents identified cost of living as one of their biggest financial hurdles to achieving the American Dream. Three in five cited housing prices, almost half pointed to healthcare costs and nearly as many blamed low wages.
For years, I warned that the decisions that our leaders were making would result in very painful inflation.
Unfortunately, that is precisely what occurred.
According to Brownstone Institute President Jeffrey A. Tucker, the purchasing power of the U.S. dollar has fallen by close to 50 percent since the beginning of the COVID lockdowns…
World WAR3 starts from Ayatollahs that illegally occupied land of Aryan nations and took 85 Millions hostages. This war sooner will become nukes lets do it and make it over now.
Rubio wants regime change but Vance want to deal with mullahs… Nothing seems right.
Israel wants regime change too as log as terrorist regime of Islamic republic in charge no
nations including USA and Israel and Europa will see peace?
