Kuwait Downs Iranian Drones as Trump Threatens More Strikes
Kuwait said it shot down Iranian drones on Saturday. This happened during recent military activity in the Middle East.
President Trump threatened to increase US action against Iran. He warned of more strikes to come.
Trump spoke to reporters at a Camp David Cabinet meeting. He said he is losing patience with Iran.
He said US forces will hit Iran very hard. The threat follows a wave of recent strikes in the region.
The United States is also trying to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. This is a key shipping route for oil.
Talks based on a June agreement have continued alongside the strikes. The Strait of Hormuz remains the main flashpoint.
Neither side is backing down. This raises the risk of more fighting in the region.
Klear Note — The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow waterway between Iran and Oman. About one-third of world's oil passes through it daily. Tensions there affect global oil prices and shipping worldwide.
