Trump news at a glance: US and Iran exchange new strikes | Trump administration

The United States and Iran have exchanged new missile and drone strikes, further undermining Washington’s efforts to reach a new ceasefire deal with Tehran.

U.S. forces on Tuesday fired a Hellfire missile to neutralize an oil tanker that was trying to break the U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, and later said they had repelled Iranian retaliatory attacks in the region and attacked sites on the Iranian island of Qeshm.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it attacked the headquarters of the US Fifth Fleet in Bahrain with missiles and drones in response to the attack on Qeshm, a claim denied by the US military’s Central Command (Centcom).

The latest exchange of strikes underscores the lack of political progress in resolving the Middle East crisis, despite optimistic statements by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio in his first appearance before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee since the United States and Israel launched their war against Iran.

Rubio on Tuesday reiterated his claims that a deal with Tehran was within reach and said the regime had agreed to negotiate aspects of its nuclear program that it had refused to discuss just a month ago.
