Iran live updates: US-Iran deal in 'crisis stage' after strikes, Tehran official says
The U.S. and Iran are exchanging strikes despite ongoing peace talks.
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 relatively limited strikes despite the signing of the memorandum and amid the continuation of peace talks, with the strategic Strait of Hormuz the primary flashpoint.

The U.S. conducted a new round of strikes on Iranian targets on Sunday, a U.S. official told ABC News.
The targets included Iranian air defense systems and IRGC small boats around the Strait of Hormuz, the official said.
The strikes were intended to degrade Iran’s ability to target commercial shipping, according to the official, who said no U.S. troops were wounded in the attacks.
