In a post on Truth Social, Trump did not address ending negotiations with Iran.
Trump said the U.S. shot down three out of four one-way attack drones that were launched by the Islamic Republic. He said one hit the upper deck of a cargo-carrying ship. The British military on Thursday said a vessel was hit by a projectile off the coast of Oman, following the passage of several tankers that used a route backed by the United Nations.
