The United States conducted airstrikes against Iranian targets, and Iran carried out retaliatory attacks against U.S. bases and U.S.-allied Gulf countries. The ceasefire between the two nations remains fragile and under strain, and both the United States and Iran have accused each other of violating the memorandum of understanding or truce.

U.S. Central Command said it hit multiple targets in Iran in response to Iranian aggression against commercial shipping. An Iranian projectile struck a cargo vessel in the Strait of Hormuz, prompting U.S. accusations that Iran attacked the ship.

Accounts differ on the ceasefire’s condition. One source reports that President Donald Trump declared the ceasefire over after Iranian attacks on commercial shipping, while another source states the ceasefire remains fragile and under strain. A further discrepancy exists between a claim that the ceasefire has been declared over and a claim that the United States and Iran have agreed to a two‑week ceasefire.

According to the Hindustan Times, the United States and Iran agreed to halt strikes and renew talks. The TASS news agency reported that regional allies reached out to both parties to preserve the ceasefire. The Times of India said the United States anticipates a prolonged military confrontation with Iran lasting weeks, and also noted that President Donald Trump declared the ceasefire over after Iranian attacks on commercial shipping. Bluesky reported that the United States and Iran have exchanged strikes repeatedly since their ceasefire took effect in early April.
