May 7 (Reuters) – The U.S. military on Thursday carried out ​strikes on Iran’s ‌Qeshm port and Bandar Abbas, a Fox News reporter said in a ‌post ​on X, ⁠citing a senior ⁠U.S. official.

The official said the strikes do not mean a ​restarting of the war or an ⁠end to ⁠the ceasefire announced ​on April 7, according ​to the post.

The strikes took ‌place as the U.S. awaited Iran’s response to a ⁠U.S. proposal that would halt fighting between the two ⁠countries ‌but leave the ⁠most contentious issues, ​such ‌as Iran’s nuclear ​program, unresolved ⁠for now.
