The US military has said it has attacked some Iranian radar sites. The incident is seen as a further escalation of tensions in West Asia and a weakening ceasefire.

According to information provided by the US Central Command (Centcom) on the social media ‘X’, the US military shot down four unilateral attack drones launched towards Iran on Friday. The drones are claimed to have posed an immediate threat to maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz.

According to Centcom, the US military targeted coastal surveillance radar sites on Iran’s Gorek and Qashqai islands after the incident. The US side said the move was taken to prevent possible further attacks.

Meanwhile, Mohsen Rezaei, a military adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said in an interview that a potential peace deal between the US and Iran is currently on hold. According to him, the issue of the US government’s release of about $24 billion worth of Iranian assets has affected the talks.

Rezaei has warned that the situation will become more serious if the talks are disrupted. He said that US President Donald Trump should take the initiative to resume the talks.

On the other hand, President Trump said in an interview with NBC News that there is no agreement with the Iranian leadership to end the war. He claimed that Iran will eventually come to the negotiating table because its options are limited. 

Meanwhile, Trump has expressed his belief that only about 21 to 22 percent of the missile capabilities that Iran has had since the war began remain.
