US continues Iran strikes amid diplomatic uncertainty and Trump's renewed threats

United States military strikes against Iran continue, with Iran's Revolutionary Guards asserting retaliatory attacks on American military sites in Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan. Amidst escalating tensions, former US President Donald Trump has denied the terms of an agreement with Tehran as reported by Iranian media, despite previous indications of cancelled strikes and discussions of an accord. Iran, however, states no definitive decision has been reached on such an agreement. Egypt has called for Washington and Tehran to pursue a diplomatic resolution. The US Vice President acknowledged "divergences" with Israel regarding the conflict, while the US warned of further "hard" strikes against Iran. Trump additionally threatened to strike "very hard" and seize "total control of their oil and gas markets." Sources: Le Monde
