Three US MQ-9 Reaper drones were downed in recent days, CBS News reported, citing US officials, though it remains unclear where the aircraft were brought down or by whom.
One of the drones crashed off the coast of Iran, while another MQ-9 is believed to have been shot down by friendly fire from Qatari forces in a separate incident over the past few days, the officials said.
The circumstances surrounding the losses remain under investigation.
The United Arab Emirates is exploring freezing Iranian assets as part of potential measures to punish Tehran following recent attacks across the region, according to a Wall Street Journal report.
The discussions come as Iran's Arab neighbours assess how to respond to escalating Iranian strikes that have disrupted infrastructure and heightened economic risks across the region.
Officials have not publicly confirmed any decision, and it remains unclear how extensive any asset freeze could be.
The United States ordered the evacuation of its embassy in Kuwait City overnight into Friday local time after multiple reported attacks on the compound, CBS News reported.
The order included instructions for staff to destroy sensitive information and wipe classified servers, according to US officials cited in the report.
The evacuation comes days after six US soldiers were killed in an Iranian strike in Kuwait.
President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that Iran was seeking negotiations but warned it was “too late” as US-led strikes intensified in a widening conflict now entering its sixth day.
“They’re calling. They’re saying, how do we make a deal?” Trump said in remarks to reporters. “I said, you’re being a little bit late, and we want to fight now more than they do.”
The comments came after nearly a week of escalating exchanges in which US and Israeli forces struck targets across Iran while Tehran retaliated with missile and drone attacks across the region, raising fears of a broader Middle East war.
Trump framed the campaign as a decisive military effort, boasting of American power and claiming Iran had suffered sweeping losses.
“Their navy is gone,” he said. “Their anti-aircraft weapons are gone. So they have no Air Force. They have no air defense.”
Earlier Wednesday, Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, said Tehran was not seeking a ceasefire and saw no reason to negotiate.
“We are not asking for ceasefire. We don’t see any reason why we should negotiate when we negotiated with them twice and every time they attacked us in the middle of negotiations,” Araghchi told NBC News.
He also challenged Washington to attempt a ground invasion, saying Iran was prepared to confront US forces.
Araghchi later wrote on social media that Washington had squandered a diplomatic opening.
“Plan A for a clean rapid military victory failed, Mr. President. Your Plan B will be even bigger failure,” he said, adding that a “unique deal” had been lost after what he called the intervention of an “‘America Last’ cabal.”
Trump also urged defections from within Iran’s security establishment, calling on members of the Revolutionary Guards, military and police to lay down their arms and promising immunity to those who did so.
He said he wanted to see Iranians “take back” their country and added that the United States would ensure whoever leads Iran next “will not threaten America or its neighbors.”
The exchange underscored the widening gap between Washington and Tehran as diplomacy gives way to a fast-moving military confrontation whose scope continues to expand.
Iran’s government has condemned what it says was a US-Israeli strike on the Azadi Sports Complex in Tehran, reporting that the 12,000-seat stadium at the site was heavily damaged.
Sports Minister Ahmad Donyamali visited the site and called the attack a violation of international law and the Olympic Charter, urging global accountability.
The United States and Israel have not commented on the claim.
