US and Iran exchange new strikes amid stalled efforts to negotiate an end to the conflict, according to reports. The clashes represent another round of back-and-forth attacks that occurs while a ceasefire remains in place but is described as shaky and fragile. The latest exchange is reported as the third occurrence this week of retaliatory or reciprocal strikes, suggesting negotiations have not yet produced an agreement strong enough to halt hostilities. While details of specific targets or locations are not included in the provided excerpts, both outlets frame the situation as a test of the ceasefire and an indication that diplomatic efforts are struggling to move forward. The reports emphasize that attempts to reach a negotiated end to the war appear stuck, and the pattern of strikes underscores ongoing instability in the ceasefire’s implementation. With no agreement reported yet, the cycle of attacks continues to raise uncertainty about the future of talks and the durability of any interim arrangement.
