## Resource

Trump vows relentless U.S. military pressure on Iran until it negotiates in good faith, as Tehran allegedly breaches truces with attacks on ships and American troops. Meanwhile, drone strikes hit Kuwait’s infrastructure, tankers suffer damage in the Strait of Hormuz, and Gaza sees deadly Israeli strikes despite Hamas’ disarmament pledge — a potential ceasefire deal faces fierce resistance. Houthi rebels force Saudi vessels to reroute, while Israel destroys tunnels in Lebanon, deepening regional chaos as Washington pushes for stability and open shipping lanes.
