CENTCOM said US fighter aircraft responded by eliminating Iranian air defences, a ground control station, and two one-way attack drones.

It added that no US military personnel were harmed.

The two countries had traded strikes last week as well, with Iran targeting a US airbas after the US military carried out what a Washington official said were strikes targeting an Iranian drone operation near the Strait of Hormuz.
