Trump orders new round of strikes to 'hold Iranian forces accountable'

Three sources familiar with the ongoing attempts to revive the truce, which lasted less than three weeks, told CBS News on Thursday that "active conversations" between the U.S. and Iran continued, although the diplomacy was indirect and mediated by Qatar.

Iranian officials privately told Trump advisers that they made a mistake in shooting at commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz, that the attacks stemmed from an "errant" sect of hardliners who are trying to undermine negotiations, and that they want to keep talking, senior U.S. officials said on Friday.

Countries that have mediated between the U.S. and Iran for weeks have been working for the past couple days to ease flaring tension between the two nations and to revive talks aimed at brokering a peace deal that addresses Iranian nuclear ambitions and other sensitive matters.
