While the IRGC did not specify which base it had struck, Kuwait said it had intercepted missile and drone attacks on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The recent attacks marked a further straining of an already tenuous ceasefire between the United States and Iran, after the two sides traded sporadic strikes over the past week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trump Claims Iran Wants a Deal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, hopes remain that both sides will eventually forge a peace agreement. Trump said in a social media statement late on Sunday that &#8220;Iran really wants to make a deal&#8221; and that it will &#8220;all work out well in the end.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But he did not specify whether talks were ongoing or whether a comprehensive deal to end the war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz was close. Trump and other officials have repeatedly asserted that a deal may be imminent, despite a recent flare-up in military tensions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While U.S. and Iranian officials said indirect negotiations were ongoing, neither side had officially confirmed a deal. Media reports have suggested that the two countries remain at odds over Iran&#8217;s nuclear ambitions, with Washington demanding in particular that Tehran hand over its enriched uranium holdings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Iran has continued to block the Strait of Hormuz \u2014 a vital waterway for a fifth of the world&#8217;s oil and natural gas \u2014 while the U.S. has maintained a naval blockade of Iranian ports. Oil prices rose on Monday amid expectations of continued supply disruptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>U.S. stock market futures pointed higher, while equities in Europe floated around both sides of the flatline. Shares in South Korea and Japan gained.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key Takeaways CENTCOM confirms strikes: The U.S. military hit radar and command sites in Goruk and Qeshm island over the weekend, citing &#8220;self-defense&#8221; after a U.S. drone was shot down.
