Tensions between the United States and Iran escalated with reciprocal military actions before an agreement was reached to halt strikes and resume negotiations on June 28. Iran launched drone and missile attacks on US military facilities in Kuwait and Bahrain, stating these were in response to earlier American strikes. The US Central Command confirmed further strikes against Iranian targets on June 27, citing an attack on the tanker "Ever Lovely" in the Strait of Hormuz. US President Donald Trump accused Tehran of violating a ceasefire agreement, while Iran threatened to withdraw from peace talks if bombardments persisted. Following the reported agreement to de-escalate, Brent crude oil prices saw a decline.
