US Army publishes images of bombing of Iranian coastal surveillance radar sites in Qeshm and Goruk

The U.S. military has released images confirming the bombing of Iranian coastal surveillance radar sites in Qeshm and Goruk, as part of what it described as self-defense operations against Iranian drone and missile threats. The strikes, conducted over the weekend, targeted Iranian radar and drone command-and-control facilities, according to U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM). The military emphasized that the actions were taken in response to Iranian aggression, including the launch of four one-way attack drones toward the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global shipping route.

Iran retaliated by firing ballistic missiles at U.S. air bases in Kuwait and naval facilities in Bahrain, though most were intercepted. The ongoing cycle of strikes has raised concerns about the stability of a fragile ceasefire agreed in early April, as negotiations to end the broader conflict remain stalled. The U.S. and Iran have exchanged attacks multiple times since the ceasefire, with each side accusing the other of violating the terms.

The conflict, which began in February, has had significant economic repercussions, including a sharp rise in global energy prices after Iran effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz to shipping. President Donald Trump has maintained that the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports will remain in place until a final agreement is reached. With no resolution in sight, the financial markets remain sensitive to further escalations in the region.
