President Donald Trump announced "major combat operations" against Iran on Feb. 28, with massive joint U.S.-Israeli strikes targeting military, government and infrastructure sites.

Delegations from the U.S. and Iran entered negotiations in June aimed at a war-ending deal based on a memorandum of understanding signed by both countries.

The U.S. and Iran have nonetheless continued to exchange strikes, with the strategic Strait of Hormuz the primary flashpoint.

House adopts budget plan for $95 billion package to fund Iran war

By a narrow vote of 216-214, the House adopted a sweeping budget resolution for a $95 billion package to provide funding for defense and intelligence, farm aid and components of the elections overhaul effort -- the SAVE America Act.

GOP Reps. Thomas Massie (Ky.) and Warren Davidson (Ohio) voted against the measure with all Democrats. California Rep. Kevin Kiley, an independent who conferences with Republicans, also voted no.

The GOP-led resolution, which directs four committees to draft pieces of legislation that ultimately would be wrapped into one bill, now heads to the Senate.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune has indicated he does not plan to hold a vote on the resolution any time soon.

The blueprint allows for up to $60 billion for military funding and as much as $13 billion for intelligence costs -- totaling $73 billion to cover the military conflict with Iran as the Pentagon warns it's running out of money to conduct operations there.

Iran says its production of missiles 'never stopped,' US is unable to locate production sites

Iran’s military said the U.S. is unable to locate missile production sites and that it continued to manufacture missiles and attack drones throughout the war.

"Missiles are moving directly from production to operational use while replenishing our stockpiles," military spokesperson Abolfazl Shekarchi said, state-run Iranian TV IRIB reported.

The military has manufactured missiles and attack drones throughout all phases of the US-Israel conflict, including when the memorandum of understanding took effect, Shekarchi said, IRIB reported.


"The enemies are confused by all the intelligence gathering tools and do not know where we produce missiles," he said, according to IRIB.


"During the 40 days of war and the breach of promise after the signing of the memorandum, the production of our strategic missiles never stopped. The missiles are replenishing our reserves," he said, according to IRIB.
