U.S. military conducts strikes in Iran following drone shootdown, as Kuwait reports intercepting retaliatory fire.

The U.S. military's Central Command announced it carried out strikes in Iran on Saturday and Sunday near Geruk and on Qeshm Island. These actions were in response to Iran shooting down a U.S. MQ-1 Predator drone over international waters. Iran acknowledged a retaliatory strike, and Kuwait reported its air defenses intercepted incoming drone and missile fire early Monday morning.
