The White House says President Trump's still weighing whether to extend a ceasefire with Iran after negotiators allegedly reached an agreement.

Michael Ratney is a former U.S.

ambassador to Saudi Arabia.

This conflict's been going on for four months now, but Trump has said he'll only make a deal that satisfies his red lines, including Iran abandoning its nuclear program and reopening the Strait of Hormuz.

Meantime, several Americans were among those hurt in an Iranian ballistic missile strike on an airbase in Kuwait.

Kuwaiti air defenses intercepted it, but falling debris caused minor injuries to at least five people, including contractors and active duty personnel.

A Reaper drone was also destroyed in the attack.

Another was seriously damaged.

Those drones cost about $30 million each.

Ship owners are increasingly optimistic now about a pickup in traffic through the Strait of Hormuz after more vessels left the waterway this week.

Some ships that have crossed belong to companies that haven't moved since this war started with Iran four months ago.

The movement has the potential now to boost the flow of everything from oil and gas to consumer goods and could also boost oil tanker earnings.

Top NATO military official Admiral Giuseppe Cavaldragone says Europe's responded to President Trump's demand to pay more for defense and its relationship with the Pentagon is stable.

Dragone telling Bloomberg they're drama-free on the military side too.

President Trump's latest physical results say he remains in excellent health.

A White House doctor says Trump aced his cognitive exam and is fully fit to carry out all duties as commander-in-chief.
