President Trump says US Navy will begin blockade of Strait of Hormuz

Kuwait's armed forces reported seven hostile drones were "handled" over the last 24 hours, the Army General Staff Headquarters said in a post Friday.

Kuwait is blaming Iran and militias backed by Iran for the Thursday evening drone attack that resulted in injuries. The post said several National Guard facilities were targeted.

"The Iranian aggression resulted in targeting several vital facilities affiliated with the National Guard, leading to injuries among some of its members, who are currently receiving treatment with stable conditions, in addition to significant material damage," the post said.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said in a statement on Friday that Iran’s armed forces have not carried out any airstrikes against other countries since the ceasefire began.

The speaker of Iran's parliament, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, said that "the release of Iran’s blocked assets" has been one of the "measures mutually agreed upon between the parties," but is yet to be implemented prior to the commencement of negotiations, in a post on X on Friday.

He said a ceasefire in Lebanon is another measure that must be implemented before the talks.

Israel will receive a “crushing and painful response” if it continues its attacks on Lebanon, the Khatam Al-Anbiya Central Headquarters of Iran’s armed forces warned in a statement on Friday.

Iran will take the management of the Strait of Hormuz “to a new stage” and “maintain the initiative to dominate the strait," the Khatam Al-Anbiya Central Headquarters added.

"We will not give up our legitimate rights in any way," the statement said.

Hezbollah Secretary General Naim Qassem said in a statement Friday that the "resistance" would not accept a return to the previous status quo, adding that the group would continue fighting “until the last breath."

Listing Israeli attacks across several areas in Lebanon on Wednesday, Qassem said Israel had failed to stop Hezbollah’s missiles and warned Lebanese officials against making “free concessions” in negotiations.

"We will not accept a return to the previous situation, and we call on officials to stop making free concessions," he said.
