US President Donald Trump, who had warned earlier that strikes would resume, said the bombing will stop shortly, according to a Fox News correspondent, and that top Iranian officials called to ask him to halt the latest attack. Still, Trump warned attacks could continue tomorrow if a deal isn’t reached.
Iran’s military said the Strait of Hormuz will be closed to all vessels “effective immediately” after the US strikes, a claim that US Central Command rejected in a statement.
Meanwhile, a Qatari delegation that traveled to Tehran to “bridge the remaining gaps” between the US and Iran remains in the country, a diplomatic source told CNN.
