Iran-US relations

For the first time since the start of a precarious ceasefire two months ago, Israel and Iran have traded missile strikes.

President Trump denies having promised 'no new wars'. BBC Verify has found multiple examples of him saying this during the 2024 US election campaign.

Iranian officials say technical staff have been denied visas, hours after the US said players could enter the country.

The US president met his advisers, after officials confirmed the US and Iran had agreed a framework of a deal.

Both suppliers have said the increase is due to higher global energy and gas prices.

The deal reportedly includes a 60-day ceasefire extension and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.

Tehran also signals progress on talks but says the key issue of nuclear weapons is not part of an initial framework it is working on.
