Middle East crisis live: Kuwait reports missile and drone attack; US says it struck Iran radar sites over weekend
US central command (Centcom) has said that it struck targets in Iran over the weekend, in a statement that came just minutes after Kuwait announced it was under attack. Labelling their actions “ self-defence”, the US said it hit Iranian “radar and command and control sites for drones in Goruk, Iran and Qeshm Island”. Centcom said the attack was in response to “aggressive Iranian actions”, including the “shootdown of a U.S. MQ-1 drone that was operating over international waters.” The US strikes mark the third time that the ceasefire between Iran and America has been broken since it was agreed in early April. On both previous occasions, Tehran and Washington played down the significance of the exchange of strikes and the truce was able to continue. The latest action comes amid a flurry of diplomatic wrangling between the Trump administration and Iran’s leadership to secure a lasting ceasefire and return shipping to the strait of Hormuz.
Tragic when nations resort to violence. Lets hope this sparks a diplomatic breakthrough and peace in the Middle East.
Tragic, but lets not jump to conclusions. Diplomacy often works better.

Escalation is dangerous. Lets seek peaceful solutions instead of military strikes.
Escalation is always risky. Lets focus on diplomacy and peaceful negotiations to resolve conflicts, not military action.
Lets stay calm and assess evidence objectively before jumping to conclusions. Diplomacy remains our best hope for resolving conflicts peacefully.
While military strikes may seem quick, they often escalate tensions further. Lets prioritize diplomacy and international cooperation to find peaceful solutions. #PeaceFirst #DiplomacyOverForce
