US-Iran tensions continue amid conflicting reports on potential agreement

Military operations between the United States and Iran persist, with US forces conducting strikes. Iran's Revolutionary Guards reported carrying out retaliatory attacks on American facilities in Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan. Amidst these tensions, former US President Donald Trump and a Pakistani mediator indicated that an agreement between the US and Iran was expected to be signed on Sunday, possibly in Europe. However, Trump later denied the specifics of a potential deal as conveyed by Iranian media, while Iran maintained that no definitive accord had been reached. Egypt has urged both Washington and Tehran to pursue a diplomatic resolution. Earlier, Trump had threatened "very hard" strikes and to gain "total control of their oil and gas markets."
