Attack on a drone control center in southern Iran.

Ionsaí ar ionad stiúrtha drón i ndeisceart na hIaráine.

A US government spokesman has confirmed that the American air force attacked a drone control center belonging to Iranian military forces in the Strait of Hormuz overnight.

Tá sé deimhnithe ag urlabhraí ó Rialtas na Stát Aontaithe gur ionsaigh aerfhórsa Mheiriceá ionad stiúrtha drón le fórsaí míleata na hIaráine i gCaolas Hormuz i gcaitheamh na hoíche.

The spokesman said the Americans also shot down four drones when they attacked the base in the port of Bandar Abbas.

Dúirt an t-urlabhraí gur chuir na Meiriceánaigh ceithre dhrón go talamh chomh maith nuair a d’ionsaigh siad an bhunáit i gcalafort Bandar Abbas.

In retaliation, as they themselves said, Iranian forces attacked a military base belonging to the United States.

Ina éiric sin, mar a dúirt siad féin, d’ionsaigh fórsaí na hIaráine bunáit mhíleata leis na Stáit Aontaithe.

Although the Iranians did not say which base was attacked, authorities in Kuwait have indicated that several missiles and drones were fired at that country.

Cé nach ndúirt na hIaránaigh cén bhunáit go baileach (which base exactly) a ionsaíodh, tá sé tugtha le fios ag na húdaráis i gCuáit gur scaoileadh roinnt diúracán agus drón leis an tír sin.

Officially, a ceasefire has been in place in the region since the beginning of April, but it is unclear what direction it is heading – whether it will be consolidated or fall apart – especially since US President Donald Trump has often and simultaneously played both sides of the fence in relation to it.

Go hoifigiúil, tá sos comhraic i bhfeidhm sa réigiún ó thús an Aibreáin ach níl sé soiléir cén treo atá faoi – an ndaingneofar é nó an dtitfidh sé as a chéile – go háirithe ó tá an dá phort ag Uachtarán Mheiriceá Donald Trump go minic agus ag an am céanna i ndáil leis.

The price of oil has risen again
