Ceasefire Remains in Effect as U.S., Iran Exchange Fire
The U.S. said it struck missile launch sites and boats laying mines as Iran launched missiles toward American aircraft, officials said.
- On Tuesday, Iran denounced U.S. strikes from a day earlier as a sign of "bad faith and unreliability" as the Trump administration characterized the military action as defensive, targeting Iranian boats reportedly laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz.
- The ceasefire, in place for nearly two months since April 8, coincides with renewed diplomatic efforts as President Donald Trump expressed optimism about reaching a nuclear deal and Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf traveled to Qatar for talks.
- Trump posted to Truth Social on Sunday demanding Iran surrender enriched uranium, or "nuclear dust" as he called it, to be "immediately turned over" to the U.S.; Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, who was seriously injured in strikes that killed his father, released a defiant Monday statement renewing calls for "death to America and death to Israel."
- Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned that finalizing a draft agreement could take several more days, insisting "it's either going to be a good deal, or there isn't going to be one," while an explosion aboard a Gulf of Oman tanker Tuesday raised additional tensions.
- Trump convenes his cabinet on Wednesday at Camp David to reassess Iran strategy, maintaining that time favors the U.S. even as the fragile ceasefire faces its most serious test amid military incidents and inflammatory rhetoric.
