Iran said Thursday that it had targeted a U.S. air base in response to U.S. military attacks in the south of the country, Iranian state media reported, hours after President Donald Trump raised new doubts about progress toward a deal to end the conflict.<\/p>\n

The report in the semi-official Tasnim news agency did not say where the U.S. air base was. Iran\u2019s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said in the report that the base was targeted at 4:50 a.m. local time (9:20 p.m. ET Wednesday) after a U.S. attack near the airport in Bandar Abbas, a port city near the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n

There was no immediate confirmation from the United States of an attack on one of its military bases.<\/p>\n

The report of an Iranian attack on a U.S. base came as the Kuwaiti army said Thursday that its air defenses were responding to \u201chostile missile and drone threats\u201d and that any sounds of explosions were the result of attacks being intercepted. It did not say where the attacks were coming from or what they were targeting.<\/p>\n

It was not clear whether Iran\u2019s claimed attack on a U.S. air base was related to the attack on Kuwait, which hosts a U.S. air base that Iran and its proxies have previously targeted in the 3-month-old war.<\/p>\n

Earlier, a U.S. official said the U.S. military shot down four Iranian one-way attack drones and struck a ground control station inside Iran on Wednesday that the military assessed as presenting a direct threat to U.S. forces and commercial shipping. The strikes were near Bandar Abbas, the official said.<\/p>\n

It was the second time in three days the U.S. has carried out what it describes as defensive strikes against Iran, adding further pressure as Washington and Tehran try to reach a deal to end the conflict amid a fragile ceasefire. <\/p>\n

The U.S. official said Wednesday\u2019s attacks were limited and do not represent a resumption of major combat operations against Iran.<\/p>\n

The IRGC warned Thursday that any further U.S. attacks would bring a \u201cmore decisive\u201d response and that Washington bears responsibility for the consequences.<\/p>\n

The U.S. official described the strikes around Bandar Abbas as defensive because the drones presented a threat to U.S. forces near the Strait of Hormuz and to commercial shipping that was transiting the area. The ground control station was targeted because a fifth drone was about to launch from there, the official said.<\/p>\n

The drones, which the official said belonged to the IRGC, did not hit any military or civilian targets.<\/p>\n
