US-Iran tensions persist amid conflicting reports on potential agreement

Ongoing military engagements continue between the United States and Iran, with American forces conducting strikes. Iran's Revolutionary Guards claimed to have launched retaliatory attacks targeting US facilities in Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan. Amidst this escalating situation, former US President Donald Trump, alongside a Pakistani mediator, initially suggested that a US-Iran agreement could be signed on Sunday, possibly in Europe. However, Trump subsequently refuted the details of any such deal as presented by Iranian media. Iran, for its part, stated that no final accord had been reached. Egypt has called upon both Washington and Tehran to seek a diplomatic resolution. Previously, Trump had threatened "very hard" strikes and to seize "total control of their oil and gas markets."
