JERUSALEM, Israel – Fresh fighting overnight in the Middle East has pushed the Iran negotiations to the edge after U.S. forces launched strikes in response to Iranian drone attacks on vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. action came on Wednesday when the Tehran regime sent drones targeting commercial and American vessels.
Iran sent 4 one-way attack drones before American fighter jets shot them down and struck a drone control station near the Iranian port city of Bandar Abbas, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal. At a Wednesday cabinet meeting, President Trump said that months of pressure and military setbacks have left the regime negotiating from a position of weakness. “Everything’s gone, and they’re negotiating on fumes,” the president remarked. “But we’ll see what happens. Maybe we have to go back and finish it. Maybe we don’t.”
