The U.S. military carried out new strikes overnight in Iran targeting a military site that officials believed posed a threat to U.S. forces and commercial maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, a U.S. official told Reuters on Wednesday.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the U.S. military has also intercepted and shot down multiple Iranian drones that posed a similar threat.
The U.S. military strikes, which have not been previously reported, came during negotiations to end a three-month-old war that has killed thousands and sent global energy prices sharply higher since it began on Feb. 28 with U.S. and Israeli attacks.
President Donald Trump earlier on Wednesday dismissed a Iranian state media report that Iran and Oman would jointly manage shipping through the Strait of Hormuz as part of a peace deal.
Trump said the waterway would remain open.
The U.S. last carried out what it called defensive strikes against Iran on Monday, in what Iran called a violation of the countries' fragile ceasefire.
The U.S. targets included boats attempting to lay mines and missile launch sites that the U.S. military's Central Command said posed a threat to U.S. forces.
