US Seizes Iranian Drone in Hormuz; Trump Rejects Tehran Plan, Warns of New Strikes

Iran claimed its Revolutionary Guard seized a second US underwater drone in the Strait of Hormuz, while President Donald Trump rejected Tehran's peace proposal and hinted at possible new strikes, keeping tensions high in the ongoing conflict. Trump told Fox News the US would "win" the war "very soon" and that fresh strikes before midterm elections were possible. Iran's Foreign Minister said Tehran was "fully prepared" for resumed war but open to diplomacy, while Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warned Iran could have "nothing left to trade" within two weeks. Oil prices rose over 1% to about $105.64 a barrel amid the stalemate, impacting Indian markets and the rupee. Separately, UK police questioned five men near an air base used by US strikes, and reports claimed Iran's supreme leader was wounded in a hospital bombing, though unconfirmed.
