The United States conducted strikes on Iranian military sites over the weekend, following Iran's announcement of targeting an airbase used by the US for operations against southern Iran. Since the ceasefire began in early April, the US and Iran have engaged in sporadic exchanges of strikes, with negotiations for a more lasting agreement ongoing. The conflict, which began with US and Israeli military actions on February 28, has resulted in significant casualties, primarily in Iran and Lebanon, and has contributed to rising global energy prices. In a separate legal matter, former FBI Director James Comey faces accusations related to a social media post that prosecutors claim threatened former President Donald Trump.
