US, Iran trade blame over fire exchanges

Iran and the US exchanged fire in tit-for-tat clashes, with Tehran claiming to have attacked a US army base and the US reporting strikes on Iran's Bandar Abbas port. Both sides reportedly agreed to a 60-day ceasefire extension via a memorandum of understanding, though President Donald Trump has not yet approved it. Pakistan's foreign minister, Mohammad Ishaq Dar, is set to meet US counterpart Marco Rubio in Washington to expedite negotiations.
