Trump warns of further strikes on Iran as tensions rise in Gulf region

President Donald Trump told reporters at Camp David that the United States will keep targeting Iran, saying the goal is to "win" and that the U.S. will hit Iran "very hard" until it complies. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt added that Tehran had broken a recent truce agreement, shot at commercial vessels and killed American soldiers, and warned that Iran would keep paying until it returns to the negotiating table.

Kuwait's military said its forces responded to drone attacks it linked to Iran, striking several vital facilities in the north of the country without causing casualties, according to Major General Saud Abdulaziz Al-Otaibi.

The British navy reported that a tanker was hit and another explosion occurred near a vessel in the Strait of Hormuz off Oman. No injuries were reported, but the attacks damaged the tanker’s engine room.

In Gaza, Israeli air strikes killed at least four civilians and wounded dozens after Hamas announced it would disarm, a development seen as a possible step toward ending the conflict. Israeli officials said the strikes targeted Hamas positions, while far-right lawmaker Itamar Ben-Gvir called the Hamas deal "unacceptable" and urged continued military action.

Elsewhere, Houthi rebels forced eight Saudi ships to reroute around the Cape of Good Hope after announcing a blockade of the Bab al-Mandal waterway. In southern Lebanon, Israeli forces detonated explosives at the Beaufort Castle to destroy an underground tunnel they said was used by Hezbollah.

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun described the Israeli operation as sending "negative messages" ahead of upcoming talks in Rome, where Israeli and Lebanese delegations are scheduled to discuss a withdrawal-for-disarmament arrangement.
