Summary
Despite a ceasefire in place since April 8, the US and Iran have engaged in new military strikes against each other. The US military's Central Command struck Iranian military sites over the weekend, and Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps retaliated by targeting a US base in the Gulf region. President Trump claims he is close to achieving a "very good deal" with Iran, though the fresh exchange of fire undermines hopes of finalizing an agreement to end the conflict.
