jns.orgKuwaiti air defenses intercepted an Iranian Fateh-110 short-range ballistic missile aimed at Ali Al Salem Air Base in the past 24 hours. Debris from the interception struck the base, injuring five Americans and damaging two MQ-9 Reaper drones. The base serves as a logistics and airlift hub for U.S. Air Forces Central operations in the region.
Officials said the injuries were minor and involved both contractors and active-duty personnel. One drone was destroyed and another was seriously damaged.
The proposal still requires final approval from President Trump, according to U.S. officials cited by Fox News. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that sanctions relief remains off the table unless Tehran reopens the Strait of Hormuz, transfers highly enriched uranium, and accepts limits on its nuclear program.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, speaking at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, said the U.S. military is prepared to resume strikes if negotiations collapse. A White House official said President Trump met with officials in the Situation Room for approximately two hours on Friday.
The official added that any deal must satisfy U.S. red lines and prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. Iran's Foreign Ministry stated that nothing has been finalized. Iran state television reported that two ships crossed the Strait of Hormuz in the past 24 hours.
Brent crude futures reached $91 per barrel by Friday afternoon. Officials continue to enforce a U.S. naval blockade of Iranian vessels attempting to transit the strait.
