US continues Iran strikes amid Trump's threats and calls for an accord

Ongoing military actions persist, with the United States conducting strikes against Iran. In response, Iran's Revolutionary Guards claimed to have launched retaliatory attacks targeting American military sites in Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan. Former US President Donald Trump has repeatedly stated the US would "strike Iran hard again," and reportedly declared an intention to "strike Iran very hard tonight" and "take total control of their oil and gas markets" after a US helicopter was reportedly destroyed. Meanwhile, the US Vice President acknowledged "divergences" with Israel concerning the conflict. Egypt has urged Washington and Tehran to utilize the "opportunity" for an agreement, following reports that Trump had cancelled planned strikes on Iran. Iran, however, has indicated that no final decision has been made regarding such an accord. Sources: Le Monde
