Despite attack that killed four Iranian soldiers, Tehran has not pulled out of talks that were continuing under the joint mediation of Pakistan and Qatar\u2013 key US politics stories from Tuesday 26 May at a glance
A proposed peace agreement between Iran<\/a> and the US seemed to remain on the table on Tuesday despite US bombing Iranian targets.
The Iranian foreign ministry denounced the US attack \u2013 aimed at missile launchers and efforts to lay fresh mines in the strait of Hormuz \u2013 as \u201can act of bad faith\u201d and \u201ca definitive violation of the ceasefire\u201d and said it would not leave aggression unanswered. But it did not pull out of the talks that were continuing under the joint mediation of Pakistan and Qatar.
The Iranian military announced no specific reprisals, suggesting it did not want the attack \u2013 which killed four Iranian soldiers \u2013 to disrupt the delicate last steps towards an agreement that it intends to hail as one of the great milestones in Iran\u2019s history of resistance. Brent oil futures climbed 4% after news of the renewed fighting.
In a sign that Donald Trump<\/a> recognises the conflict has reached a decisive point, he had been due to convene a rare cabinet meeting at Camp David, the presidential retreat in Maryland, but on Tuesday he said on Truth Social that this had been postponed due to bad weather.
As Trump continued to face questions about how a planned peace deal would achieve the objectives he set out at the start of the war, he appeared to copy and paste a rambling social media post from last week that claimed Democrats and the media would proclaim an Iranian victory even if Tehran \u201csurrenders, admits their Navy is gone and resting at the bottom of the sea, and their Air Force is no longer with us, and if their entire Military walks out of Tehran, weapons dropped and hands held high, each shouting \u2018I surrender, I surrender\u2019 while wildly waving the representative White Flag\u201d.
