Iranian missiles and drones targeted Israel and Gulf Arab states as Tehran kept its chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz, even as U.S. President Donald Trump said talks were ongoing with the Islamic Republic to end the war. Details over the talks described by Trump remain in dispute with Iran, which denied talks had been held. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also said Israel will continue to strike Iran and Lebanon, even as the U.S. considers a ceasefire. The respite in oil prices was short lived, with the price of Brent crude, the international standard, back to $104 a barrel in morning trading.

President Donald Trump says he is considering “winding down” military operations in the Middle East. Trump's social media post comes as the U.S. is sending three more amphibious assault ships and roughly 2,500 additional Marines to the region. The mixed messages come after oil prices climbed yet again, putting pressure on the U.S. stock market. That was followed by a Trump administration announcement that it will lift sanctions on Iranian oil loaded on ships. The move aims to wrangle soaring fuel prices. The three-week-old war is showing no signs of letting up, with Israel saying Iran continued to fire missiles at it early Saturday.

State media in the United Arab Emirates reports that a drone attack sparked a fire at an oil tank farm in the emirate of Fujairah. The UAE also closed its airspace briefly Tuesday as the military responded to missile and drone threats from Iran. Meanwhile, Israel says it launched new attacks across Tehran and in Beirut, where it says it is targeting Hezbollah. On Monday, President Trump said countries were joining an effort to police the Strait of Hormuz, but he suggested some countries’ reluctance showed a lack of reciprocity in defense agreements with the United States.

Iran has warned people to evacuate three major ports in the United Arab Emirates, including the busiest in the Middle East, as its war with the U.S. and Israel enters its third week. Tehran's warning Saturday was its first open threat to a neighboring country's non-U.S. assets. It said the U.S. had attacked Kharg Island, crucial to Iran's oil sector, from the UAE. President Donald Trump has said the U.S. destroyed military sites on Kharg Island and warned that its oil infrastructure could be next. Trump has said he hopes other countries send warships to keep the Strait of Hormuz “open and safe."
