President Donald Trump announced "major combat operations" against Iran on Feb. 28, with massive joint U.S.-Israeli strikes targeting military, government and infrastructure sites.
Delegations from the U.S. and Iran entered negotiations in June aimed at a war-ending deal based on a memorandum of understanding signed by both countries.
The U.S. and Iran have nonetheless continued to exchange strikes, with the strategic Strait of Hormuz the primary flashpoint.
Iran's military claimed on Wednesday to have launched a wave of drone strikes targeting U.S. Army ammunition storage and logistical sites at Camp Doha in western Kuwait, in a statement carried by the semi-official Tasnim News Agency.
