Donald Trump hints at talks as Iran launches fresh wave of attacks
March 24, 2026: On the 25th day of the conflict involving the United States, Israel, and Iran, tensions have escalated sharply despite ongoing ceasefire discussions. Even as Donald Trump indicated that talks with Tehran over a possible truce are underway, Iran launched its 78th wave of missile and drone strikes under “Operation True Promise 4,” signaling no immediate slowdown in hostilities.
The strikes targeted multiple US military bases across the Gulf, including key installations in Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia. Facilities such as Ali Al Salem, Al Kharj, and Al Dhafra were reportedly hit using advanced weaponry, including Khaibar Shekan and Zolfaghar ballistic missiles, along with kamikaze drones. These coordinated attacks highlight Iran’s expanding strike capability across strategic military locations.
At the same time, Iran intensified its offensive against Israeli regions, including Haifa and parts of the West Bank, with reports suggesting the use of cluster munitions causing widespread damage and civilian distress. In response, the US military released footage of strikes targeting Iranian missile, drone, and radar systems, underscoring that despite diplomatic signals, the conflict continues to deepen with no immediate resolution in sight.
