The United States said it carried out strikes on Iranian coastal surveillance radar sites after intercepting four Iranian attack drones that were allegedly launched toward the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz, marking the latest escalation in tensions between Washington and Tehran. According to US Central Command (CENTCOM), American forces shot down all four one-way attack drones, saying they posed an "immediate threat" to maritime traffic in one of the world's most important shipping lanes. The US military added that it would continue to respond to what it called "unjustified Iranian aggression" in self-defence. "American forces remain vigilant and postured to respond to unjustified Iranian aggression in self-defense," it said.

US President Donald Trump said in an interview with NBC News’ “Meet the Press” that Iran still has about 21 to 22 percent of its missile arsenal remaining, according to a preview released on Friday. “They have some missiles, they have some drones. I would say percentage-wise, maybe 21–22% of their missiles. It’s a lot of missiles, but it’s not what it was when we first attacked,” Trump said.
Meawhile, Iran launched multiple drones toward the Strait of Hormuz, a US official told CNN, according to a report on Friday, with at least four drones shot down by US aircraft. Mohsen Rezaei, a senior adviser to Iran's supreme leader and former commander-in-chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), said on Friday negotiations between Tehran and Washington have reached a deadlock, adding that President Donald Trump must take steps to move the process forward. "The ball is in Trump's court," Rezaei told CNN, adding that the release of frozen Iranian assets would serve as a confidence-building measure and a test of Washington's willingness to advance negotiations.
