WASHINGTON\/DUBAI\u2014The United States (US) and Iran have reached an outline \u200bagreement to extend their ceasefire pending the approval of President Donald Trump, Axios reported on Thursday, after Iran targeted a U.S. air base \u200cin Kuwait in the wake of U.S. strikes on what Washington said was an Iranian drone operation.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the report by Axios, the two sides agreed on a 60-day memorandum of understanding to extend the truce and launch negotiations on Iran\u2019s nuclear program, but the plan still needed Trump\u2019s signoff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was no immediate confirmation of the report which prompted oil prices to reverse course and trade \u200blower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump has repeatedly said the end of the war is close but told media at a cabinet meeting on Wednesday he was not yet satisfied \u200bby the negotiations and that the U.S. was not discussing easing sanctions, one of Tehran\u2019s demands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

U.S. AND IRAN TRADE BLOWS<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The latest attacks, \u2060while limited, highlighted the fragility of negotiations to turn the tenuous early-April ceasefire into a lasting agreement to end the three-month-old war, which has killed thousands, and reopen \u200bthe vital Strait of Hormuz shipping route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

U.S. Central Command said U.S. forces had shot down five Iranian attack drones and struck a ground control station in the port city \u200bof Bandar Abbas that was about to launch a sixth. Kuwaiti forces had then intercepted a ballistic missile fired towards the country, which hosts a large U.S. base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese actions were measured, purely defensive and intended to maintain the ceasefire,\u201d a U.S. official, who requested anonymity to speak candidly about military operations, told Reuters earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it had targeted the U.S. base \u200bresponsible for an early-morning attack near Bandar Abbas airport and that any repeat would lead to a \u201cmore decisive response\u201d, Tasnim news agency reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kuwait condemned the attack and \u200bdemanded that Iran immediately halt what it called a serious escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The violence, the second flare-up this week, coincided with the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha celebrated across the region, where multiple countries have \u200cbeen caught \u2060up in the conflict triggered by U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran on February 28.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mediator Pakistan said its foreign minister, Ishaq Dar, would meet U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Washington on Friday, although the significance of his visit was unclear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Lebanon, which Iran says must be part of any overall peace deal, Israel said it had begun striking infrastructure of Iran-backed Hezbollah militants in the southern city of Tyre and had carried out a strike in the capital Beirut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lebanese army said a strike \u200bhad killed one of its soldiers, while \u200bIsrael, which has displaced hundreds of \u2060thousands of people with a push deep into Lebanon in pursuit of Hezbollah, said air raid sirens had gone off in its north.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WARNING TO OMAN<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The U.S. warned Oman on Thursday not to get involved in any effort to impose a toll in \u200bthe Strait of Hormuz, saying it will penalize any partners involved in such a system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOman, in particular, should know that \u200bthe U.S. Treasury will \u2060aggressively target any actors involved \u2013 directly or indirectly \u2013 in facilitating tolls for the Strait and any willing partners will be penalized,\u201d Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump said that no single country would have control over the waterway, and appeared to threaten Oman, with which the U.S. has decades-long military and economic ties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s international waters, and Oman will behave \u2060just like everybody \u200belse or we\u2019ll have to blow them up. They understand that, they\u2019ll be fine,\u201d he said \u200bon Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oman has not mentioned the idea of joint control of the strait with Iran, with which it says it has discussed freedom of navigation. Tehran expressed solidarity with Oman after what it called \u201cU.S. officials\u2019 \u200bthreats\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
