The US Armed Forces said this Saturday (6) that they had shot down two Iranian drones that threatened traffic in the Strait of Hormuz.

"Earlier today, U.S. forces in the Middle East shot down two Iranian one-way attack drones that were threatening international maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz," U.S. Central Command said in a post on X.

The military said it remains ready to "continue to defend itself against Iranian aggression."
