US continues Iran strikes as Egypt urges agreement after reported Trump cancellation

The United States has maintained its military operations against Iran, while Iran's Revolutionary Guards have asserted they conducted retaliatory strikes on American military installations in Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan. Concurrently, the US Vice President acknowledged "divergences" with Israel regarding the ongoing conflict. Former US President Donald Trump reiterated his intent for the US to "strike Iran hard again," reportedly stating the US would "strike Iran very hard tonight" and "take total control of their oil and gas markets" following reports of a destroyed US helicopter. Amidst these developments, Egypt has called upon Washington and Tehran to leverage the "opportunity" for an agreement, following reports of Trump cancelling planned strikes on Iran. Iran has indicated no definitive decision has been reached regarding such an accord.
