US-Iran war LIVE: CENTCOM says it shot down two more Iranian drones over Strait of Hormuz as Pakistan pushes mediation

Fresh AP reporting says U.S. forces shot down two more Iranian drones over the Strait of Hormuz, adding to a day of tense developments in the Gulf and renewed diplomatic activity involving Pakistan.

According to AP, Pakistan's interior minister was in Tehran on Sunday in a fresh effort to restart negotiations between Iran and the U.S. The report says the latest round of mediation comes as Washington continues to press Iran to reach a deal to end the war in the Middle East.

AP said the American military intercepted the two drones after they threatened international maritime traffic in the busy waterway. The report did not immediately clarify whether the two drones were separate from an earlier interception or part of a cumulative update.

The latest AP account follows earlier wire coverage on Saturday that said CENTCOM reported four Iranian attack drones had been shot down over the Strait of Hormuz. Reuters separately reported that U.S. forces struck Iranian coastal radar sites after shooting down drones launched toward the same area.

The new report adds to the fragile security picture around one of the world's most important shipping lanes, where previous strikes and drone launches have already raised the risk of further escalation.

Pakistan's renewed diplomatic push suggests regional actors are still trying to prevent the conflict from widening even as military incidents continue at sea.
