# The US military says it has shot down four Iranian “one-way attack drones” launched toward the Strait of Hormuz. It comes several days after Washington and Tehran exchanged strikes, in an escalation that threatened a shaky ceasefire between the two countries. One person was killed and more than 60 injured in Iranian drone strikes on Kuwait’s international airport on Wednesday. The US and Israel launched wide-ranging strikes on Iran on 28 February, sparking conflict across the Middle East. The attacks effectively closed the strategically important Strait of Hormuz and sent oil prices soaring globally.
