Summary of overnight events in CENTCOM --- Operation EPIC FURY / Project FREEDOM --- Ok so not 100% sure if this is all in the right order, but from what I've gathered: - IRGC boats in the gulf were identified approaching commercial shipping and/or trying to lay mines in the waterway - US aircraft observing this were instructed to eliminate the boats in order to safeguard shipping - The strike possibly killed 4 IRGC personnel - In response, an Iranian anti-aircraft site fired upon (and shot down?) and MQ-9A "Reaper" UAV - Iran also fired (allegedly) on a UAV (I believe MQ-4C "Triton" 169172 #AE6258 with callsign "OVERLORD02" had been in the area), and they claim to have shot at an F-35 as well - In response to this, US aircraft targeted the anti-aircraft site (possibly at/near Bandar Abbas, given reports of explosions in the area) - CENTCOM confirmed the incident, says it's actions were defensive only, and the ceasefire remains in place - Iran says it reserves the right to respond to the strikes @hey_itsmyturn @NotWoofers @Faytuks @MATA_osint @ArmchairAdml @vcdgf555
