US, Iran trade blame over fire exchanges

Iran and the US took part in tit for tat clashes this Thursday.

Tehran said it fired on a US army base in the region, while the US reports striking the Bandar Abbas port in Iran.

Later on Thursday, Axios reported that the U.S. ​and Iran had reached agreement ​on a memorandum of understanding to extend their ceasefire for ​60 ‌days.

But ⁠President Donald Trump has yet to ‌approve it.

In an attempt to speed up the negotiations, Pakistan’s foreign minister, Mohammad Ishaq Dar, will fly to Washington on Friday to meet his US counterpart, Marco Rubio.
