Iran called the US response to its peace proposal insufficient after US strikes on Qeshm Island. Qatar said it was working toward an interim deal to prevent a return to war.
US officials described the strikes as limited and defensive, after Iranian missiles fired at a US aircraft. Iran said a plan for maximum deterrence was ready against any new attack.
Why it matters: Shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and global oil prices depend on whether the US-Iran war resumes.
The Wall Street Journal reported that the US struck Qeshm Island in southern Iran. Residents reported blasts overnight. The paper said the strikes were small and kept quiet to avoid signaling a return to full war.
Why it matters: Strikes during talks raise the risk that diplomacy over Hormuz breaks down.
