CENTCOM said early Friday it had completed a 13th consecutive night of strikes on Iranian military command centers, drone storage, communications, coastal surveillance and maritime capabilities; Iranian officials reported at least four dead in Khuzestan.
Hours earlier, Houthis claimed cruise/ballistic/drone hits on Saudi tankers Encelia and Layla in the Red Sea—the first such vessel attacks since their Bab el-Mandeb blockade threat—helping push oil above $100. Trump said he was not yet ready to negotiate a new ceasefire.
