US-Iran Update: US says Downed Multiple Iranian Drones Targeting Commercial Ships in Hormuz

According to Reuters, the United States and Iran are moving closer to an agreement aimed at ending their war, with a senior U.S. administration official saying both sides have agreed on a draft text and Washington expects an initial deal to be signed in the coming days. Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi told state television that changes to the agreement are still possible, but said the tentative deal shows Iran has emerged stronger from the conflict. He was quoted saying, “Iran is the winner of the war with the U.S.” Reuters reports that shortly after these comments, U.S. forces shot down multiple Iranian one-way attack drones heading toward the Strait of Hormuz, which were described as posing a threat to commercial traffic. U.S. Central Command later confirmed the action and said the waterway remained open for transit. Iranian media also reported explosions near Iran’s Sirik port and Qeshm island, attributing them to warning shots fired by Iranian forces. #IranUS #USIran #MiddleEastTensions #StraitOfHormuz #iran --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dawn News English is your window into the latest news, insight, and features from South Asia and beyond.
