Iran live updates: 8 Marines hurt in ship attack in Strait of Hormuz

The injuries were not significant, a U.S. official confirmed.

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.

Trump says he's offered Iran 'nothing' following reports of possible sanctions relief

Trump specifically responded to an Axios report about possible economic relief for Iran if they present concrete nuclear concessions, writing in a post on his social media platform that the story is “untrue,” and that they should "withdraw this fake story, IMMEDIATELY!"

Trump continued to promise gas prices would come down after the war with Iran ends.

"We have the best economic numbers we have. Iran will never have a nuclear weapon. We're going to win that war very, very soon. It'll be over. And the gas prices will come tumbling down," Trump said.

Trump administration pushing to bring nuclear issue back into Iran talks: Officials

After President Donald Trump rejected a proposal from Iran over the weekend, U.S. officials said he remains open to offering the country sanctions relief and releasing its frozen assets in exchange for concrete progress toward a nuclear deal.

Trump confirmed U.S. and Iranian officials spoke via mediators on Monday.

The Trump administration has always said Iran would receive substantial financial rewards if it walked away from its nuclear program, and under June’s memorandum of understanding, the U.S. promised to roll back all sanctions as part of a verifiable, long-term nonproliferation deal. Iran has not indicated it’s willing to bring the nuclear issue into negotiations at this point.
