What specific condition did Trump set for halting further US strikes on Iran, and what does the proposed interim deal aim to achieve?

Trump stated he will continue bombing Iran 'if it refuses to agree to an interim peace deal' and specifically vowed 'more strikes on Iran Thursday' unless Tehran accepts an accord meant to 'extend their increasingly tenuous ceasefire by two months and reopen the Strait of Hormuz'. The deal is intended as a temporary measure preceding more complex negotiations on curbing Iran’s nuclear program.

How has Iran responded militarily to the latest US strikes, and what immediate regional consequences followed?

Iran retaliated by firing missiles at US bases in Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan — prompting Kuwait to close its airspace temporarily, Jordan to report intercepting 20 missiles, and Bahrain to confirm one child injured by shrapnel in Manama; simultaneously, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed to have hit two vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, though the US denied any disruption to commercial shipping and no independent confirmation of the vessel attack was provided.
