President Donald Trump announced "major combat operations" against Iran on Feb. 28, with massive joint U.S.-Israeli strikes targeting military, government and infrastructure sites.

Following the announcement of a two-week ceasefire, initial U.S.-Iran talks in Pakistan in April failed to reach a peace deal.

Trump later announced the open-ended extension of the ceasefire and the continuation of a U.S. blockade until negotiations are concluded "one way or the other."

Israeli military says it killed a senior Hezbollah commander

The Israeli military announced on Sunday that it had killed a senior Hezbollah commander in a "precise strike in southern Lebanon."

Israeli military officials said the Hezbollah commander, identified as Ali Musa Daqduq, was killed south of the Litani River on Friday.

Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said Daqduq held a series of senior positions within the Hezbollah terrorist organization and served "as a source of knowledge with extensive operational experience."

"His elimination constitutes another significant blow to Hezbollah’s senior chain of command by eliminating one of the most prominent operatives responsible for terrorist activity against Israeli civilians, IDF soldiers, and American service members," the IDF alleged in a statement.

In recent years, the IDF said Daqduq played a central role in advancing terrorist attacks and combat operations against Israel and IDF soldiers.

Iran state media says US missiles hit water tanks in Hormozgan

Iranian state television said Wednesday that U.S. missiles hit water tanks in Sirik, a county located in the Hormozgan Province on the coastline of the Strait of Hormuz.

The U.S. has not commented on the report, which ABC News could not immediately verify.

According to a local water company, the two tanks affected -- one with 500 cubic meter capacity and the other 2,000 cubic meter -- are vital water distribution infrastructure for the area.

US moving forward with signing ceremony plans, but deal still needs final approval from Iran, sources say

The Trump administration is moving forward with initial plans to hold a signing ceremony in Geneva as soon as this weekend, but despite President Donald Trump’s comments on Thursday, there’s still no indication that the Iran's supreme leader has approved the terms of the deal, according to several sources familiar with the matter.

The draft deal has been approved at high levels of the Iranian regime -- but this same rank of Iranian leaders previously accepted the terms of a draft memorandum of understanding late last month when negotiators from both sides believed they were close to an agreement, a U.S. official and another source tell ABC News.

At that time, Trump added additional nuclear provisions to the agreement that appeared to stall progress with the Iranians. The draft deal currently on the table still includes versions of these demands, including a commitment to address Iran’s stockpile of highly enriched uranium, but the language on that term has been softened somewhat, the sources said.

Trump tells Iran to 'get their act together'

President Donald Trump pushed back against Iran on Friday, calling Iran’s alleged attack of an Indian ship leaving the Strait of Hormuz "unacceptable."

"They better get their act together, and FAST," Trump warned in a post on social media.

Trump also pushed back against claims Iran had made regarding a potential peace deal.

"The terms that Iran leaked out to the Fake News have NOTHING to do with the terms that were agreed to, in writing. What they said, including their weak and pathetic statement on having a deal, bears no relation to the truth. Very dishonorable people to deal with," Trump said.

Trump says agreement with Iran could be signed as early as this weekend

Trump told reporters in the Oval Office Thursday that the U.S. and Iran could sign a deal in days.

"We just made a great settlement of the war with Iran. And we're going to be subject to finalization of documents we should get done over the next few days and probably have a signing, maybe in Europe. And it's a great thing," Trump said.

The president indicated that he would not be present but that Vice President JD Vance and other administration officials would go.

Trump also claimed that the Strait of Hormuz will "officially open" the moment a deal is signed, later affirming that the U.S. will lift the naval blockade in the waterway as "part of the deal" that is currently being considered.

Later, when asked if the U.S. will immediately lift the blockade, Trump answered, "Yes, that’s part of the deal, and you’ll have oil prices dropping like a rock."
