Now to the latest on the war with Iran. 
The Pentagon reporting overnight that it shut down a wave of Iranian drones targeting US forces in Kuwait. 
But the administration said a deal with Iran to end the war is possible. 
Chief White House correspondent Mary Bruce is tracking the latest for us. 
Good morning, Mary. 
>> Good morning, Michael. 
And these are some of the most intense strikes that we have seen in weeks. 
The US and Iran overnight trading heavy fire after the US struck an empty oil tanker that it said was trying to breach its blockade. 
That then set off a string of attacks by both sides with Iran firing ballistic missiles at neighboring US military bases in Bahrain and Kuwait. 
This video released by the Iranian military claiming to show those strikes. 
Now, none of their missiles hit their targets, but Kuwait's airport was severely damaged. 
The video circulating online showing the aftermath, the debris, and multiple fires. 
Now, one person was reportedly killed and several others injured. 
All of this comes as it is really unclear where diplomatic efforts to end this war now stand. 
Secretary of State Marco Rubio told lawmakers yesterday that a deal quote could happen today. 
It could happen tomorrow. 
It could happen next week. 
But he cautioned there's no guarantee that it would be acceptable to the Senate or the American people. 
And the president was asked in an interview out this morning about the weeks of whiplash and why he seems to be changing his stance on Iran so often. 
Trump saying, quote, "It's just the way I am." Robin. 
>> All right, Mary.
