Trump claims Iran agreed to no nuclear weapon, supreme leader involved in talks

President Donald Trump has asserted that Iran has agreed to abandon its pursuit of nuclear weapons and that the nation's supreme leader is actively participating in negotiations with the United States. These significant claims emerged during an interview on the New York Post’s Pod Force One podcast, coinciding with a renewed outbreak of violence in the Gulf region.

The escalating tensions saw an Iranian drone attack on Kuwait's airport, resulting in one fatality and multiple injuries, according to authorities. Flights were temporarily suspended following the incident. This attack occurred shortly after U.S. forces disabled a tanker attempting to breach the American blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. military reported repelling further Iranian retaliatory actions and striking targets on Iran's Qeshm Island.

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) alleged it attacked the U.S. Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain with missiles and drones in response to the strike on Qeshm. However, the U.S. military’s Central Command (Centcom) denied this claim. Centcom stated that two Iranian missiles aimed at Kuwait fell short or broke apart, and three missiles targeting Bahrain were intercepted. U.S. forces also reported shooting down three drones launched by Iran toward civilian vessels.

Meanwhile, in Lebanon, Israel continued its strikes on southern Lebanon. This comes a day after President Trump reportedly asked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to avoid attacking Beirut to prevent further escalation of the three-month-old conflict. Lebanese state media reported that Israeli airstrikes and artillery fire on Tuesday killed at least eight people in southern Lebanon.
