United States officials stated no fresh strikes occurred while diplomatic talks continue. Iran launched attacks on US military sites in Gulf states on Thursday. These strikes were retaliation for earlier US attacks on Iranian military infrastructure. The recent exchanges further strained a fragile three-week-old ceasefire. Both sides stressed the need to prevent further military escalation and revive diplomacy.

Second night of strikes comes after Trump says ceasefire 'over', but suggests talks for lasting peace will continue.

The US military targeted multiple Iranian cities, including Iranshahr and Bandar Abbas, as the ceasefire agreement signed in June shows signs of breaking down.

US officials confirm ongoing technical talks with Iran despite recent clashes, aiming to maintain a fragile ceasefire and seek solutions.
