Trump Sees Progress in Iran Talks Amid Ongoing Airstrikes
US President Donald Trump said that Washington and Iran remain engaged in negotiations. He believes Tehran is 'getting more serious.' The comments came as a US bombing campaign against Iran entered its 13th consecutive night following the collapse of a ceasefire agreement earlier this month.
Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan reported intercepting new Iranian missile and drone attacks on Friday. Hours before, US airstrikes reportedly killed four people and partially damaged a facility belonging to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, according to Iranian state media. Tehran said the attacks targeted American military assets across the region.
Iran has been selling oil worth $18 billion during the war and ceasefire with the United States. The oil ministry stated that it sold $11.5 billion of oil during the war and $6.5 billion during the ceasefire.
