Iran live updates: Trump says US 'open' to Iran deal, tanker hit in Strait of Hormuz

"I will determine whether or not the U.S.A. will choose to engage," Trump said.

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.

Those talks broke down as the U.S. and Iran continued to exchange strikes, with the strategic Strait of Hormuz as the primary flashpoint. Trump then said in August that the U.S. would launch a "crushing economic operation" to force Tehran into submission.

Iran war has resulted in 'strategic inventory shortfalls' of munitions: Pentagon Inspector General's report

The Pentagon's Inspector General said in a report released Monday that the Pentagon acknowledged that the war in Iran has resulted in munitions shortfalls.

The "munitions expenditure in [Operation Epic Fury] has resulted in strategic inventory shortfalls and revealed industrial base bottlenecks for munitions resupply," including the building of solid rocket motors, explosives and propellants, the report stated.

The Defense Department is "working to streamline procurement processes and production lead times, and to stockpile critical materials, components, and selected munitions to respond rapidly to a contingency," the report stated.

The information was provided by the Defense Department in written responses sent to the Inspector General on Aug. 26, according to the report.

The Defense Department estimated the cost of the war to be $33.4 billion as of June 29, according to the report. The estimate included $7.4 billion of cumulative obligations, $22.3 billion for expended munitions and $3.7 billion in equipment losses, it said.

U.S. Central Command reported that Iranian strikes "damaged and destroyed hundreds of buildings and structures" at U.S. bases in the Middle East, according to the report.

U.S. diplomatic facilities in the region have also suffered $184 million in damage from Iranian strikes, the report said.

Iran says it won't negotiate until its conditions are met

The secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council said that it won't negotiate "until Iran's conditions are met," according to a statement published by Iranian state media.

"The equations regarding oil and the Straits have changed," the statement continued.

The statement comes after President Donald Trump said Monday that Iran "wants to make a deal, quickly and badly" and that the U.S. is "open" to the "concept" of negotiating.
