Sunday, June 7Sunday, June 7US forces intercepted Iranian ballistic missiles and drones overnight on Saturday, 6 June 2026, after Tehran launched seven rockets toward Kuwait and Bahrain—six were shot down and one missed its target, US Central Command (CENTCOM) said. The strikes followed American attacks on Iranian radar installations in the Strait of Hormuz, which Washington described as retaliation for what it called an “immediate threat” posed by four Iranian drones en route to the waterway. Sirens sounded in Manama and Kuwait City as air-defence systems scrambled, while Iran’s Revolutionary Guards vowed to “close the Strait of Hormuz” if provoked further.
CENTCOM confirmed that US forces destroyed radar sites on Iran’s Qeshm Island and elsewhere in the south of the country, hours after the Iranian salvo reached the Gulf. Kuwait’s state news agency KUNA and Bahrain’s interior ministry both reported air-raid alerts as the missiles crossed their airspace. “Six of the seven ballistic missiles were intercepted,” CENTCOM said in a statement carried by Reuters . The seventh fell short of its intended target, according to initial assessments.
The exchange marks the latest flare-up since a fragile ceasefire took hold in late May, and it underscores the persistent risk of miscalculation in one of the world’s most congested shipping lanes. Iran’s state media framed the US strikes as “cowardly aggression” against coastal defences, while Washington insisted its radar attacks were limited to military infrastructure. US President Donald Trump, speaking to reporters in New York, said Tehran still retains roughly one-fifth of its pre-conflict missile stockpile and remains capable of further escalation .
Regional allies moved quickly to bolster defences. Kuwait announced a $2bn purchase of US drone-intercept systems, according to Germany’s *Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung* . The Pentagon said additional naval assets were being repositioned to deter further Iranian provocations, but analysts warned that any sustained closure of the Strait of Hormuz—through which roughly a fifth of global oil transits—would send shockwaves through energy markets.
Diplomatic channels remained open but strained. EU foreign ministers convened an emergency video call, while the UN Security Council scheduled an emergency session for later today. “The ceasefire is hanging by a thread,” said a senior European diplomat who asked not to be named. “Both sides are calculating how far they can push without triggering a full-scale conflict.”
