U.S., Iran in fresh clashes amid peace talks
Iran’s military fired four one-way drones at a U.S. Navy ship and a commercial ship, a senior U.S. official said.
- The U.S. military shot down the drones and attacked another Iranian drone launching unit on the ground before, the official added.
Why it matters: This is the second such skirmish in 48 hours.
- It happened as the U.S. and Iran negotiate a deal for ending the war.
Of note: The exchange came hours after President Trump said at a Cabinet meeting he’s in no rush for a deal and suggested that Tehran thought it could “out-wait” because of the upcoming midterm elections.
- “I don’t care about the midterms. Look what happened last night, that was a prelude to the midterms. People understand it,” Trump said, in reference to candidates he endorsed winning their primaries, including Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who beat U.S. Sen. John Cornyn in a GOP Senate primary runoff.
