The White House said President Donald Trump is considering new strikes on Iran, with Washington demanding that Tehran again allow ships through the Strait of Hormuz. No U.S. attacks took place overnight, but Iran’s Revolutionary Guard claimed it hit two additional oil tankers in the waterway, and Kuwait said its military intercepted drones; Iranian state media described the drone launches as retaliation for earlier U.S. strikes. Press secretary Karoline Leavitt accused Iran of breaking a June truce understanding, firing on commercial vessels, and killing American troops, and she warned that Tehran would keep suffering setbacks until it engaged seriously. Trump, speaking Friday at Camp David, said the U.S. intended to prevail, would conduct intense military operations, and that sustained pressure would continue until Iran capitulated. CBS News reported a possible U.S.-Israeli bombing campaign against Iranian energy facilities, subject to Trump’s authorization. The strait is crucial for global oil and gas transport.
