The remarks come amid a renewed diplomatic push to settle the Iran war, with markets rallying on hopes for an agreement.

Blocked shipping lanes hammer China’s exporters while Iran and Washington sideline Beijing’s mediation push.

Despite diplomatic momentum, divisions within Tehran’s leadership continue to threaten prospects for a lasting agreement, the officials said.

More than a dozen missiles and drones were engaged by its forces, the United Arab Emirates said.

President Donald Trump stopped short of saying that the ceasefire has been violated.
