As The Gateway Pundit reported, Trump said on Monday that talks with Iran are back on and “going on right now,” following his decision to call off strikes which he said would have been “the biggest attack since World War II.”

“This is a last chance for them to sign a good document,” Trump said.

“You’ll find out today or tomorrow. I mean, they’re going to go quickly, one way or the other. It’s not very complex. We’re talking about the Strait, the opening of the Strait, having it open literally by tomorrow, completely open, and that’s phase one,” Trump said when asked for details of the negotiations. “And phase two is we then will talk about the nuclear capacity, the nuclear, you know, as we’ve been mentioning. Basically… the denuclearization of Iran has to happen, has to happen, and that’ll be the second phase.”

Meanwhile, CBS reported, citing US officials, that despite Trump's comments, no "new" negotiations were planned.

Video circulating on social media shows explosions over what Iranian media claims is the US base attacked on Tuesday. Israeli newspaper the Jerusalem Post reports that the details were "confirmed" on Tuesday.

The report remains unconfirmed by the White House and the Pentagon.

On Tuesday morning, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Organization (UKMTO) said an unknown projectile struck a cargo vessel in the Strait of Hormuz 20 nautical miles northeast of Al Khasab, Oman.

Per Fox's Trey Yingst, this was one of two incidents reported by maritime tracking groups.
