The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) announced it shot down two Iranian drones that were threatening the Strait of Hormuz, escalating tensions as Pakistan's Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi landed in Tehran as part of new diplomatic efforts.

The Iranian regime responded with a salvo of missiles at US allies Bahrain and Kuwait on Saturday, drawing condemnation from the Gulf countries and piling pressure on a shaky ceasefire agreed on April 8.

Weeks of indirect talks marked by tit-for-tat threats and sporadic exchanges of fire have failed to secure a deal to end the conflict or reopen the vital waterway, a chokepoint for Gulf oil and gas shipments.

Moreover, in a parallel conflict in Lebanon, two Lebanese army officers and a soldier were killed in an Israeli regime strike on a military vehicle in the south, the Lebanese army said.

Here is what is happening on the 100th day of the war.
