As far as we're concerned, as far as we understand, no U.S.
delegation has been talking to an Iranian delegation.
However, there was an Iranian delegation that met for talks with Qatar in an aim at reducing or de-escalating what's been going on in the last...
A few days or so.
But both countries seem to want to leave the door open for talks.
We heard from the White House press secretary, Caroline Leavitt, yesterday saying that Iran wants to talk and the US would be willing to talk as well.
So there is that door very slightly open for talks.
Having said that, it doesn't feel like we're closer to those talks right now with these nights of consecutive tit-for-tat strikes.
Yeah, this is something we've heard from Iran in the last couple of hours.
They say that two oil tankers, which were trying to pass through a minefield south of the Strait of Hormuz, caught fire and exploded.
Now, both Iran and the US have been trying to control the Strait of Hormuz.
And a minefield has been laid to the south of where Iran wants ships to go, which is nearer its waters.
And yes, you're right.
We've also heard reports of explosions in the central Iranian city of Yaz, which is about halfway between the Strait of Hormuz and Tehran.
Now, we've had nothing from the U.S.
on this, but it's kind of a signal that strikes are happening deeper inside Iran.
This BBC podcast is supported by ads outside the UK.
These strikes have been steadily ratcheting up over the past few days in both intensity but also the number of munitions that have been used on both sides.
And this all follows what the US says has been continued attacks by Iran on commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.
But in terms of the Strait itself, there is an ongoing war of words between both Tehran and Washington.
