Iran said Sunday that a renewed war with the US could last longer than the previous conflict. President Trump said the war would end soon, one way or the other, and that the US may need to give Iran 'the hammer'. Qatari mediators are in talks in Tehran and Doha to head off new strikes.

Why it matters

A new round of US strikes could close shipping lanes further and push energy prices higher worldwide.

Background

The US and Israel fought a war with Iran earlier this year. Talks through Qatar aim to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and release frozen Iranian assets.
