United States President Donald Trump said he cancelled a third consecutive day of strikes on Iran, claiming that a deal with Tehran is close to being finalised and a “time and place of the signing” are “to be announced shortly”. 
Earlier, Trump had warned that Iran would be hit “very hard” and threatened that US forces would take Iran’s Kharg Island and other oil infrastructure points. 
On Thursday, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it carried out attacks on US military assets in Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan, in retaliation for the second day of US strikes on Iran. 
The IRGC also announced the complete closure of the Strait of Hormuz. 
Lebanon’s Health Ministry said Israeli attacks on the country have now killed 3,111 people, with 11,483 injured, while Israel’s army continued its deadly bombardment of southern Lebanon on Thursday. 
Al Jazeera’s correspondent in Tehran reports that a senior Iranian official said a proposal for a memorandum of understanding with the US is under consideration by the country’s top leaders, which might result in a signing, but the timing remains speculative.
