US-Iran tensions persist with continued strikes and diplomatic calls

Military operations between the United States and Iran continue, with US forces conducting strikes. Iran's Revolutionary Guards claim to have carried out retaliatory attacks on American facilities located in Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan. Former US President Donald Trump has refuted the details of a potential agreement with Tehran, as conveyed by Iranian outlets, despite prior discussions and the cancellation of military actions. Iran, however, states that no definitive accord has been reached. Egypt has called upon Washington and Tehran to embrace a diplomatic path. The US Vice President acknowledged differing views with Israel regarding the ongoing conflict. Concurrently, the US has warned of impending "hard" strikes against Iran, with Trump further threatening to strike "very hard" and gain "total control of their oil and gas markets." Sources: Le Monde
