US military operations against Iran continue, with Iran's Revolutionary Guards asserting they have conducted retaliatory strikes on American facilities in Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan. Former US President Donald Trump has refuted the details of a potential accord with Tehran, as conveyed by Iranian outlets, despite previous discussions and the cancellation of military actions.
