US Iran War LIVE: Iran accused the United States of violating a ceasefire after US forces carried out what Washington described as “defensive strikes” in southern Iran, targeting missile launch sites and boats allegedly laying mines near the Strait of Hormuz.
The strikes came even as negotiations over a potential memorandum of understanding to halt the conflict and reopen shipping through the Strait of Hormuz continued in Qatar. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said talks could still “take a few days”.
The war has triggered one of the biggest global oil supply shocks in recent years, disrupting shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, the route for nearly one-fifth of the world’s oil and LNG trade.
Meanwhile, a Spiegel report said the Trump administration plans to reduce key US military assets available to NATO allies during a crisis, including fighter jets, bombers and warships, raising fresh concerns in Europe over Washington’s commitment to the alliance.
