US launches new wave of strikes on Iran, Kuwait intercepts Iranian missiles, drones
Meanwhile, US President Trump stated that Iran badly wants to settle with the United States, adding that Washington would decide whether or not to take such a step.
The US launched a new wave of strikes on Iran's coastal defenses and missile sites on Wednesday, following the reimposition of a naval blockade on Iranian ports. This escalation occurred after a fragile truce collapsed, with Iran threatening to shut off more regional energy exports and stating it is in an "existential war" with America. US Central Command (CENTCOM) reported attacking coastal defense systems and cruise missile sites on Iran's Greater Tunb Island and other locations, aiming to enforce free transit in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran's Mehr news agency reported attacks near Ahvaz and Bandar Abbas, with no casualties. Kuwait also intercepted four missiles and 21 drones from Iran. Iranian top negotiator Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf stated, "We are in an essential and existential war with America."
