- President Donald Trump has signaled that attacks on Iran could continue for weeks, further diminishing hopes for a quick deal to end the conflict.
- At a Cabinet meeting at Camp David on Friday, Trump was asked how the US can revive the ceasefire after relentless attacks by both sides over the past few weeks.
- “Well, I think we just want to win,” Trump said. “We tried to be nice as nice as you can be in a situation like that. But you know, they're being decimated.” Asked what to expect over the next four weeks, Trump replied: “We'll be hitting them very hard. At some point, they're going to say, ‘We just can't take it anymore.’”
- No U.S. strikes were reported in Iran on Friday. Iran fired drones at Kuwait, a Gulf country hosting U.S. forces, and said it had also fired at oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz.
- Kuwait’s Defense Ministry said Friday its armed forces had shot down drones inside Kuwaiti airspace, and that Iranian attacks had targeted several vital military facilities, causing material damage from falling shrapnel but no casualties. Iranian state media said Iran had targeted an air base in Kuwait with drones, in retaliation for U.S. strikes on Thursday.
