A peace deal between the United States and Iran is still possible, despite the resumed hostilities, US President Donald Trump said. When asked by journalists if he thinks he can reach a deal with Iran amid the ongoing hostilities and despite his own remarks on this matter, he answered in the affirmative. According to Trump, several days ago, Iran delivered a missile strike against US forces in Jordan "in the midst of a negotiation." The United States and Israel launched a war against Iran on February 28. However, the United States resumed large-scale attacks on Iran overnight to July 8, having accused it of breaching the existing agreements in what concerned the Strait of Hormuz.
