President Donald Trump announced "major combat operations" against Iran on Feb. 28, with massive joint U.S.-Israeli strikes targeting military, government and infrastructure sites.

Following the announcement of a two-week ceasefire, initial U.S.-Iran talks in Pakistan in April failed to reach a peace deal.

Trump later announced the open-ended extension of the ceasefire and the continuation of a U.S. blockade until negotiations are concluded "one way or the other."

Israeli airstrike kills two officers, 1 soldier: Lebanese Army

The Lebanese Army said that an Israeli airstrike targeting a military vehicle has killed two officers and one soldier, according to a statement released Saturday morning.

Calling it an "aggressive and barbaric raid," officials said the strike hit "a military vehicle on the Kafr Tibnit - Kharbital (Nabatieh) road, resulting in the martyrdom of two officers, with ranks of brigadier general and captain, and a soldier," according to the Lebanese Army.

"The continuation of the Israeli brutal, deliberate, and repeated aggression against Lebanon and its people and army only increases our steadfastness, faith, and determination to confront these aggressive attempts aimed at thwarting all efforts to reach a solution that allows for the restoration of stability, a comprehensive ceasefire, and the Israeli withdrawal from the occupied Lebanese territories," the statement said.

US intercepts Iranian missiles launched toward Kuwait, Bahrain: CENTCOM

U.S. forces helped shoot down incoming Iranian missiles and drones shot toward Kuwait and Bahrain, U.S. Central Command said.

The barrage fired at Iran's Gulf neighbors -- a total of seven ballistic missiles -- came hours after U.S. forces shot down four Iranian one-way attack drones that had been launched toward the Strait of Hormuz, CENTCOM said in a social media post.

“Initial assessments indicate six of the missiles launched by Iran were intercepted and a seventh did not reach its intended target," the post stated. "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."

CENTCOM said the earlier launch of Iran's attack drones "posed an immediate threat to regional maritime traffic" and, in response, the U.S. struck Iranian coastal surveillance radar sites in Goruk and on Qeshm Island to "defend against further maritime attacks."

US shoots down 4 drones, strikes Iranian sites: CENTCOM

The U.S. military recently shot down four Iranian drones that had been launched toward the Strait of Hormuz, U.S. Central Command said Friday.

"The attack drones posed an immediate threat to regional maritime traffic," CENTCOM said.

In response, CENTCOM said U.S. forces struck "Iranian coastal surveillance radar sites" in the city of Goruk and on Qeshm Island "to defend against further attacks."

This is the latest incident during the ceasefire where CENTCOM has said it defended against an Iranian action and then launched strikes at Iranian targets.
