JUST IN: Central Command Announces Strikes in Goruk and Qeshm Island After Iranian Drone and Missile Strikes – Iran Threatens to Escalate, Says Negotiations Are “At a Deadlock” (VIDEO)

The US and Iran traded missile strikes, with Iran targeting neighboring Gulf countries and shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, on Friday, as negotiations to end the war stall. 

Mohsen Rezaei, military adviser to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, told CNN on Friday, “The negotiations are at a deadlock and (US President Donald) Trump must break this deadlock.”

“The ball is in Trump’s court,” Rezaei added. He further threatened that Iran will “drag the war” beyond the region “by attacking these other American bases that we have been attacking so far.”

After intercepting six Iranian missiles launched in the Strait of Hormuz,  “U.S. forces subsequently struck Iranian coastal surveillance radar sites in Goruk and on Qeshm Island to defend against further maritime attacks,” Central Command said in a statement late Friday, releasing video from the strikes.

“Initial assessments indicate six of the missiles launched by Iran were intercepted and a seventh did not reach its intended target. There are currently no reports of harm to U.S. personnel, and Iranian claims of damaging U.S. 5th fleet headquarters in Bahrain are false,” Central Command said. “CENTCOM forces remain vigilant and postured to continue responding to unwarranted Iranian aggression in self-defense.”

Bahrain said early Saturday that Iran was continuing to attack the country with “missiles and drones targeting civilians.”

Bahrain’s military said its air defense systems had been able to intercept and destroy three missiles. The military said the its weapons and forces “are at the highest readiness” in case of more attacks.

The U.S. military’s Central Command said Friday that Iran shot seven ballistic missiles towards Kuwait and Bahrain. Six of those missiles were intercepted, and one didn’t hit its target, CENTCOM said.
