The United States bombed Iranian radar and drone control sites after Tehran shot down an American MQ-1 Predator drone. Iran retaliated, and Kuwait intercepted incoming fire.

The attacks highlight the fragility of ceasefire talks. - U.S.

strikes targeted sites near Geruk and on Qeshm Island. - Kuwait's air defenses intercepted drone and missile fire early Monday.

- Iran's Revolutionary Guard claimed it responded to a U.S. attack on a telecommunications tower.

- Ceasefire negotiations continue, but the Strait of Hormuz remains blocked, disrupting global energy and fertilizer supplies. The dueling attacks underscore the ongoing tensions even as both sides insist they are negotiating a deal.
