U.S. military says it shot down Iranian drones launched toward Strait of Hormuz

The U.S. military announced it shot down four Iranian drones launched towards the Strait of Hormuz and subsequently attacked Iranian coastal radar sites. This action was taken in response to an immediate threat to regional maritime traffic and is part of the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict, with the U.S. enforcing a blockade on Iranian ports due to Tehran's control over the crucial Strait, which has caused energy prices to spike. The article also mentions an earlier Iranian drone attack on Kuwait's airport and ongoing, albeit fragile, ceasefire efforts in the region, including a U.S.-brokered deal between Lebanon and Israel that was rejected by Hezbollah.
