Hopes for a peace agreement between the US and Iran have been overshadowed by renewed American strikes on Iran. The US Central Command stated that on Monday, American forces attacked missile sites in southern Iran and vessels attempting to lay mines in maritime areas. These strikes occurred as Iranian delegates arrived in Doha, Qatar, for the final negotiations to end the conflict that began on February 28. Despite the strikes raising questions about the current ceasefire and dimming hopes for a permanent deal, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio indicated that opportunities for an agreement with Iran still exist.
