Trump Calls Off Strikes on Iran Subject to Peace Deal Being "Rapidly" Reached

Iran said the strikes were retaliation for U.S. attacks on its forces and said Kuwait intercepted the drones without casualties, officials said.

  • On Friday, Iran claimed it launched drone strikes against U.S. military facilities at Ahmad al-Jaber Air Base in Kuwait, though Kuwait's defense ministry reported successfully intercepting the drones with only material damage and no casualties.
  • The Iranian army stated these attacks were in response to U.S. strikes that killed IRGC members in Iraq earlier this week and three family members on Qeshm Island.
  • Separately, the Revolutionary Guard Corps said Friday it struck two oil tankers and turned four other ships away in the Strait of Hormuz, which normally carries around 20% of global oil shipments.
  • A drone hit two ships at Egypt's Damietta port on Thursday, prompting analyst Hamish Kinnear, Middle East and North Africa analyst at Verisk Maplecroft, to warn of expanding maritime risk across the Mediterranean, Persian Gulf, and Indian Ocean.
  • In a 49-50 vote on Thursday, the Senate rejected a resolution to limit President Donald Trump's war powers, while Trump announced a peace deal with Hamas for the disarmament of armed groups in Gaza.
