Iran sends message through drones? Trump's Gulf allies detect ‘unidentified hostile aircraft’

Fresh drone scares have rattled the Gulf as the fragile U.S.-Iran ceasefire shows signs of cracking again. Kuwait said “hostile drones” violated its airspace during dawn hours, while the UAE claimed its defenses intercepted two drones allegedly launched from Iran. The incidents came amid reports of another cargo ship catching fire in Gulf waters, reigniting fears of a wider Hormuz escalation. Gulf militaries remain on high alert as Washington and Tehran struggle to keep talks alive. The latest developments are raising new concerns that the region could be sliding back toward another dangerous phase of confrontation.
