Iran-US War News Today Live Updates: As US President Donald Trump weighs approving a deal to extend the fragile ceasefire with Iran, five Americans were injured after debris from an intercepted Iranian missile struck the US Ali Al Salem base in Kuwait, Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting reported, citing Bloomberg. According to the report, Kuwait intercepted a Fateh-110 missile, but debris hit the base, destroying a $30 million Reaper drone and severely damaging another. Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth said Washington is ready to restart attacks on Iran if a deal cannot be reached, news agency Reuters reported.
Ceasefire extension: While the American and Iranian sides have agreed to extend the ceasefire by another 60 days and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, the final decision rests with Trump. The extension is meant to provide negotiators more time to work on a lasting settlement on Tehran’s nuclear program. The US President held a two-hour-long White House Situation Room Meeting, following which an official said Trump will only accept a deal “that is good for America and satisfies his redlines. Iran can never possess a nuclear weapon,” Associated Press reported.
Key disagreements: Based on comments from Trump and the Iranian side, the apparent disagreement between Washington and Tehran centres on two key issues: Iran’s nuclear weapons ambition and control of the Strait of Hormuz. Trump has been demanding that Tehran guarantee it will never develop nuclear weapons and restore freedom of navigation in the strait. An Iranian official, speaking to Iran’s semi-official Fars news agency, has rejected linking the deal to nuclear issues. Tehran has also insisted that its decisions on Hormuz are its sovereign right. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said on state TV that the management of the strait must be decided by Iran and Oman.
