Iran's armed forces fired missiles at unidentified targets late Thursday local time as the Trump administration weighed a tentative agreement aimed at ending the conflict with Tehran.
The reported missile launch came hours after U.S.
Central Command accused Iran of violating a fragile ceasefire by firing a ballistic missile toward Kuwait and launching attack drones near the Strait of Hormuz.
The escalating military activity unfolded even as the White House confirmed reports that the United States and Iran have "mostly agreed" to terms for a temporary diplomatic framework.
The sides have been in a tenuous ceasefire since April 7.
Iran's armed forces carried out a missile launch operation from the southern region of the country toward unspecified targets, and the destination of the missiles was not yet clear, The Times of Israel reported, citing the semi-official Fars news agency.
Iran's semi-official Tasnim news agency reported that sounds coming from the sea were caused by an exchange of fire intended as a warning to ships in the Strait of Hormuz, according to the Times.
CENTCOM said Thursday that Iran launched a ballistic missile toward Kuwait on Wednesday night in what it called an "egregious ceasefire violation."
Kuwaiti forces intercepted the missile.
CENTCOM also said Iranian forces launched five one-way attack drones "in and near the Strait of Hormuz."
U.S. forces intercepted the drones and prevented the launch of a sixth drone from a control site in Bandar Abbas.
A White House official confirmed an Axios report that negotiators had largely settled on a proposed 60-day memorandum of understanding that would extend the current ceasefire and launch nuclear negotiations.
President Donald Trump has not yet given final approval to the arrangement, the official said.
Axios reported U.S. officials believe Iran has already signed off on the proposal, though Tehran has not publicly confirmed that claim.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Thursday that negotiations remained active but stressed Trump has "several red lines" for any agreement.
"The teams have been going back and forth," Bessent said during a White House press briefing.
Bessent said the administration is demanding that Iran surrender its highly enriched uranium stockpile and abandon efforts to develop a nuclear weapon.
He also insisted that the Strait of Hormuz "must be free and open," as it was before the conflict erupted.
