\u201cMoments ago, CENTCOM forces shot down four Iranian one-way attack drones that were launched toward the Strait of Hormuz,\u201d the combatant command said in a statement shortly before 7 p.m. \u201cThe attack drones posed an immediate threat to regional maritime traffic.\u201d<\/p>\n

The US has been enforcing an naval blockade around Iran\u2019s ports to impose economic pain. Tehran shut down maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz since the start of US and Israel\u2019s war on Iran on Feb. 28.<\/p>\n

CENTCOM said the military went on to strike \u201cIranian coastal surveillance radar sites in Goruk and on Qeshm Island to defend against further attacks.<\/p>\n
