The US and Iran exchanged new strikes over the weekend, with American forces hitting Iranian radar and drone sites and Iran retaliating against a US air base as Kuwait came under attack.

Getting into it: US Central Command said American warplanes carried out what it called “self-defense strikes” on Iranian air-defense radar and drone command-and-control facilities on Qeshm Island and in Goruk, in Iran’s Hormozgan province, on Saturday and Sunday. CENTCOM said that the strikes came in response to “aggressive Iranian actions,” including Iran shooting down a US MQ-1 drone operating over international waters, and that US fighters eliminated Iranian air defenses, a ground control station, and two one-way attack drones “that posed clear threats to ships transiting regional waters.” CENTCOM confirmed that no US service members were harmed during the incident.

Iran told a different story. Its Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it had retaliated by targeting the US air base used to launch a strike on a telecommunications tower on Sirik Island, warning that any further US strikes would draw a “completely different” response and leave Washington to answer for what came next.

By Monday morning, Kuwait’s army said it was “confronting hostile missile and drone attacks” with its air-defense systems as sirens went off nationwide, though it didn’t say where the fire originated. Kuwait, which hosts a major US air base and took some of the heaviest fire of any Gulf state during the war, had also been targeted by Iran just last week.

The fresh blows landed even as the two sides were trying to lock in an agreement to end the shooting. Trump talked up an imminent deal heading into the weekend, but negotiators say the big sticking points are still open, from what Tehran is willing to promise on its nuclear program to how much frozen money gets released and when. Trump has since sent back a toughened version of the proposal, which Tehran brushed off as “speculation.”

As of this morning, Iran said it was ending all negotiations with the US due to Israeli strikes in Lebanon. When asked about Iran suspending talks with the US, Trump said, “If they don’t want to talk, that’s OK with me. I think it’s fine. I don’t particularly want to talk either. We talk too much.” Trump also said that Iran had not formally notified the US that talks were off.

The latest framework reportedly includes a 60-day freeze on fighting, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, and renewed nuclear talks. Posting on social media early Monday, Trump waved off critics griping about the holdup, telling them to “just sit back and relax,” and insisting that “Iran really wants to make a deal, and it will be a good one for the U.S.A.”
