Tension increased between America and Iran amid ceasefire, bombs rained from fighter jets

Amidst the ceasefire, both America and Iran are creating a situation of tension by attacking each other from time to time. America has attacked two places in Iran. Earlier, Iran had shot down America’s MQ-1 drone, to which America responded by attacking. The US Army says that this is a step taken in self-defense. In these attacks in Iran’s Goruk and Qeshm Islands, Iranian air defense system, drone control station and two attack drones have been destroyed. This incident has happened at a time when both the countries are trying to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. According to the US Central Command, Iran shot down an American MQ-1 drone flying in international waters. In response to this, American fighter jets took swift action on Saturday and Sunday. Iranian radar and command systems were targeted in Goruk while drone facilities on Qeshm Island were destroyed. Iran has condemned this attack. Iran says the American drone had entered its airspace and that necessary measures will be taken to protect its territory. Both America and Iran are describing themselves as being on the defensive, which has made the situation more complicated.

Why did Iran target Kuwait?

The US military presence in Kuwait is very strong. That’s why Iran has targeted Kuwait instead of the United Arab Emirates. Iran launched a missile attack on a US military base in Kuwait, injuring five American soldiers. Some experts believe that this attack may also have a connection with Israeli weapons. Israel helps America in the war against Iran. The attack on US bases in Kuwait could be a way for Iran to simultaneously send a message to both Israel and the US. Iran’s goal is to clearly tell America that even its allies are not safe.

How limited and strict is the American strategy?

America has not waged a full-scale war this time. Made very limited and precise attacks. It targeted only those targets which were posing a direct threat. The American army is considered to be the most powerful in the world and it keeps showing its capability from time to time. It is also believed that this strategy has been adopted to warn Iran and ensure the safety of regional ships. However, Iran has underground missile base and drone capability which is not easy to destroy completely. In the last weeks, Iran has reactivated many of its bases. This incident is increasing tension in the entire Middle East. Saudi Arabia, UAE and other Gulf countries have become alert. On the other hand, America is committed to the security of its allies, but the way tensions are increasing, it can have a big impact on the oil supply and can also affect the global economy.
