US MILITARY ANNIHILATES IRANIAN DRONES AS TRUMP RUSHES BACK TO 'FINISH BUSINESS'

The US military obliterated four Iranian drones aimed at the Strait of Hormuz, as President Trump declared he needed to rush back to “straighten out a little unfinished business in Iran.”

US Central Command confirmed the strike, stating, “Moments ago, CENTCOM forces shot down four Iranian one-way attack drones that were launched toward the Strait of Hormuz.” The command emphasized that these drones posed an immediate threat to regional maritime traffic.

The US has enforced a naval blockade around Iran's ports, intensifying economic pressure. Tehran has effectively shut down maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz since the onset of hostilities with the US and Israel on February 28.

CENTCOM reported that military forces retaliated by striking Iranian coastal surveillance radar sites in Goruk and on Qeshm Island to prevent further assaults.

“American forces remain vigilant and postured to respond to unjustified Iranian aggression in self-defense,” CENTCOM stated.

Just an hour prior to the announcement, Iranian independent media reported explosions near Bandar Abbas, which state-affiliated outlets quickly denied.

This statement followed Trump’s remarks at an economic event in Wisconsin, where he urged attendees to be quick. “We’ll go pretty quickly, because I have to get back to fighting a war, Iran,” he asserted.

Despite a cease-fire established on April 8, violations have been rampant. Initially intended as a two-week pause, Trump extended it indefinitely on April 21.

In the six weeks since, skirmishes have escalated but have not yet reignited full-scale combat operations.

Most confrontations have remained confined to the Strait, where Iran targets vessels while the US maintains its blockade on Iranian ports. However, Tehran also targeted US forces based in Kuwait on Tuesday night.

Earlier on Friday, Trump acknowledged in an NBC News interview that Tehran still possesses drones and retains about “21%-22%” of its missile stockpile from before the US initiated its military campaign against Iran.

“Most of the drone factories have been knocked out, most of the launching pads have been knocked out, and most of the missile manufacturing areas have been knocked out. But they still have capacity,” he told “Meet the Press” host Kristin Welker. “They have some missiles, they have some drones.”

“It’s a lot of missiles, but it’s not what it was when we first attacked.”
