The latest round of tit-for-tat attacks between the US and Iran has raised concerns about the stability of the ceasefire. US President Donald Trump has stated that strikes on Iran will continue, while Iranian officials are reviewing whether to proceed with peace talks.
The US launched three waves of strikes on targets in southern Iran in retaliation for the downing of an AH-64 Apache helicopter, which Iran denied. Iran responded with missiles and drones launched across the Middle East, prompting the US to intercept most of them.
Despite the escalation, negotiations appear to be ongoing, with Qatari negotiators meeting with Iranian officials to bridge the remaining gaps. The future of Iran's nuclear ambitions and the easing of US sanctions remain key issues.
