The US said it launched new strikes on southern Iran, targeting Iranian missile sites and boats attempting to place mines.

The strikes were taken in "self-defense" and were designed "to protect our troops from threats posed by Iranian forces", US Central Command said in a statement.

Iran is yet to respond to the US attack. However, Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Esmail Baqai earlier said that while some progress had been made in talks to end the war, a deal "is not imminent".

It is unclear what impact the strikes will have on any potential peace agreement between the US and Iran.
