US-Iran tensions persist with new threats and conflicting reports on potential accord

US military actions against Iran persist, with Iran's Revolutionary Guards claiming counter-strikes on American bases located 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 earlier talks and cancelled military actions. Iran, for its part, states that no definitive agreement has been reached. Egypt has called upon Washington and Tehran to seek a diplomatic path. The US Vice President acknowledged differing views with Israel regarding the ongoing conflict, while the US also warned of impending "hard" strikes against Iran. Trump further threatened to strike "very hard" and gain "total control of their oil and gas markets." Sources: Le Monde
