Conflict Timeline

Reports indicate ongoing U.S. and Iranian military strikes in the vicinity of the Strait of Hormuz, with the Trump administration stating openness to diplomacy while Iran continues to assert control over the shipping corridor. These actions have been linked in some accounts to the collapse of a prior ceasefire, U.

S. troop casualties, and higher gasoline prices. Lebanese President Joseph Aoun is set to meet President Trump at the White House amid U.S.-mediated talks between Lebanon and Israel, following a June 26 framework agreement on Israeli withdrawals from southern Lebanon and Hezbollah disarmament.
