Drone Strike: Kuwait Drone Strike, Baghdad Attack Intensify US-Iran Conflict

The ongoing conflict between the United States and Iran has entered its 26th day, with no signs of de-escalation. Fresh attacks continue to derail peace efforts, the latest being a drone strike near Kuwait International Airport that set an oil tanker ablaze. In Erbil, Iran-backed militias targeted a hotel housing US personnel, causing heavy damage. Meanwhile, a major strike was reported in Baghdad, where Camp Victory—a key US base—was hit by a drone. Footage shows a direct hit on a Black Hawk helicopter, highlighting the precision of the attack. Amid escalating tensions, Donald Trump claimed that talks with Iran are progressing and that a 15-point proposal has been sent, including ending Iran’s nuclear program and ensuring free navigation through the Strait of Hormuz. Reports suggest JD Vance may visit Pakistan to support diplomacy. Trump also revealed receiving a “significant” oil-and-gas-related gift from Iran, hinting at possible backchannel negotiations despite ongoing conflict.
