US continues Iran strikes amid retaliatory claims and diplomatic calls

United States military operations against Iran are continuing, with Iran's Revolutionary Guards claiming retaliatory strikes on American military installations in Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan. Amidst these escalating tensions, former US President Donald Trump has denied the specifics of an agreement with Tehran, as reported by Iranian media, despite prior discussions of a potential accord and cancelled strikes. Iran, however, maintains that no final decision has been reached regarding such an agreement. Egypt has urged both Washington and Tehran to pursue a diplomatic resolution. The US Vice President acknowledged "divergences" with Israel concerning the conflict, while the US issued a warning 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
