The Latest: US and Iran make no diplomatic headway as more missiles fired at Israel

Iran and the United States seemed at diplomatic odds on Thursday as both sides issued conflicting statements over the progress of efforts to end the war, with Tehran putting forth its own proposals even as its military fired multiple missiles at Israel. U.S. President Donald Trump has said a deal to end the Iran war is near, even after Tehran dismissed his 15-point ceasefire plan. Iran has been blocking ships it perceives as linked to the U.S. and Israeli war effort from the Strait of Hormuz, but it is letting through a trickle of others through the crucial waterway.
