In response, Iran launched missile and drone attacks targeting Israeli and U.S. military bases and assets in the Middle East. In addition, Iran tightened its control over the Strait of Hormuz.

A ceasefire was signed between the warring parties on April 8. Then on June 18, Iran and the United States signed a memorandum of understanding to end the war in the region on all fronts.

According to the agreement, the two sides agreed to negotiate within 60 days to reach a final agreement on Iran’s nuclear program and the lifting of sanctions. Although the deadline expired on August 17, the two sides failed to make enough progress to reach an agreement.TAG_OPEN_div_21
