Rubio Declares US-Iran Conflict 'Effectively Over' as Drones Intercepted in Bahrain
Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that further US military action against Iran is unnecessary due to severe economic pressure, while the US intercepted two Iranian drones in Bahrain. Iran claimed a strike on a US radar system and reported a tanker hitting a mine in the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, Israel killed three in Gaza, and Turkey and Qatar signed a mutual defense pact.
