U.S. forces carried out out new defensive strikes on Wednesday on an Iran military facility after downing Iranian attack drones, according to U.S. officials.
The officials, who were not authorized to comment publicly and spoke on the condition of anonymity, said U.S. Central Command forces shot down four Iranian one-way attack drones that posed a threat around the Strait of Hormuz.
U.S. forces also struck an Iranian ground control station in Bandar Abbas that was about to launch a fifth drone, according to the officials.
The strikes came after President Donald Trump asserted Wednesday that Iran is “negotiating on fumes” and insisted that November’s midterm elections won’t make him rush into a deal to end the nearly three-month-old conflict that’s spurred unease across the global economy.
Speaking at the start of a Cabinet meeting, Trump expressed confidence that a deal is near. Over the weekend, he even declared that his administration and Tehran had “largely negotiated” a settlement, though the talks are still in flux.

Don’t know how the US thinks that Iran is going to give up when both sides keep to their maximum pressure demands
Peace deal is questionable if it ever existed
Even the ceasefire is just like the other “ceasefires” Trump made
And now Kuwait is saying that they are under fire by missiles and drones
