US-Iran Military Escalation Amid Peace Negotiations
The US has conducted multiple military strikes on Iranian targets (missile sites, boats in Strait of Hormuz) even as ceasefire holds and negotiations proceed in Qatar. Iran's Supreme Leader vows the Middle East will no longer be a safe haven for US bases. Both sides maintain deal could be reached within days despite the military actions.
