The U.S. Central Command (Centcom) wrote on social media that Iran had launched several drones “in an attempt to attack merchant ships crossing the Strait of Hormuz.” “The U.S. forces shot them down all in the last hours, and the traffic through the strait is proceeding smoothly,” the command added.
The new drone attacks follow statements by both American and Iranian authorities that the warring parties are getting closer to an agreement to end the war. Donald Trump, the President of the United States, said on Thursday that he had reached an excellent solution to the Iran war. According to his words, the agreement should be signed in Europe in the coming days.
The Pakistani Prime Minister Shahab Sharif, whose country is mediating in the conflict, said on Friday that the U.S. and Iran had agreed on the final text of the peace agreement. Iran: agreement reached
