Developing
In Short: U.S. President Donald Trump told a Fox News reporter that the bombing will cease, as the U.S. continues to monitor the situation and assess the impact of recent drone attacks on the U.S. Fifth Fleet in Bahrain.
U.S. President Donald Trump informed a Fox News reporter from the White House Situation Room that the bombing operations would soon conclude. The U.S. is currently monitoring the situation to ensure safety and assess the impact of recent drone attacks on the U.S. Fifth Fleet in Bahrain, according to NBC News.
Brad Cooper, a U.S. official, expressed skepticism about Iran making a deal with Trump, suggesting that the only remaining option is to decide whether to escalate the conflict to secure Iran's nuclear materials. Cooper also noted that while bombing can destroy civilian infrastructure, a blockade is proving effective.
Kennedy, another U.S. official, stated that he does not support sending troops to retrieve the nuclear materials and emphasized the need for Congress to be briefed before any such action is taken. He also called for a discussion on the matter before any troop deployment.
Kuwaiti airspace will reopen immediately upon confirmation that the situation has ended and the causes of danger have been eliminated, based on the assessment of the relevant competent authorities, according to a statement from the Kuwaiti directorate general.
