May 28, 2026 - The United States and Iran traded attacks in an overnight spate of hostilities, U.S. and Iranian officials said on Thursday, potentially threatening the already fragile negotiations over the fate of the Strait of Hormuz and a lasting deal to end the war.
Iran fired a ballistic missile early Thursday toward a U.S. base in Kuwait, according to the U.S. military and Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, which said it was retaliation for strikes in southern Iran. Kuwaiti forces intercepted the Iranian missile, the U.S. Central Command said.

May 26, 2026 - Tensions remained high between Iran and the United States on Tuesday, threatening to upend fragile diplomacy efforts as Iranian officials warned of retaliation after American strikes overnight.

May 25, 2026 - Negotiations between the United States and Iran appeared to be continuing on Monday after both sides played down hopes of an imminent breakthrough, and a senior U.S. official said final approval of an agreement toward ending the war could take days to finalize.
American and Iranian officials have presented contrasting descriptions of the emerging agreement, compounding doubts about whether or not the deal could get over the finish line. Both sides have said the deal could reopen the Strait of Hormuz, the critical waterway for oil and gas shipments in the Persian Gulf that Iran has effectively blockaded.

May 24, 2026 - The United States is close to reaching a deal with Iran that would end the war, reopen the Strait of Hormuz and see Iran give up its stockpile of highly enriched uranium, with the details and timelines to be worked out later, regional officials told The Associated Press on Sunday.
Iran has not publicly committed to giving up its uranium — a key demand of U.S. President Donald Trump — and the sides have seemed close to a deal at different points in recent weeks without clinching one.
