(Picture: @WarScopeGlobal/X)\n\nOil prices had hit $114 earlier today after reports that Iran’s military had struck an American destroyer, but fell when the US confirmed its ships had not been hit.\n\nThe UAE said it reserves the right to respond to Iranian attacks, labelling the strikes ‘treacherous’.\n\nAs the attack was unfolding, Donald Trump said US forces hit seven Iranian ‘small boats’ in the Strait of Hormuz.\n\nIn a brief post on Truth Social, the President said Iran has ‘taken some shots at unrelated nations’, including a South Korean cargo ship.\n\nHe went on: ‘We’ve shot down seven small Boats… It’s all they have left. Other than the South Korean Ship, there has been, at this moment, no damage going through the Strait.’\n\nThe Iranian attack on the UAE is the first time the Gulf country has been targeted since the shaky ceasefire between the clerical Regime and the U.S. took hold almost four weeks ago.\n\nIran handed over its latest proposal for negotiations with the U.S. to mediators in Pakistan, Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency reported Friday.\n\nTrump subsequently said he’s ‘not satisfied’ with it, but did not elaborate on the proposal’s apparent shortcomings.\n\n**Got a story?
