The talks have since stalled as hostilities around the Strait of Hormuz intensified.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>The renewed blockade was preceded by another wave of US strikes on Iranian targets. In response, missile alerts sounded in Bahrain and Kuwait as Iran launched fresh attacks on countries hosting American forces. US Central Command said Tehran had fired dozens of missiles and drones at neighbouring Gulf states.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>\u201cU.S. forces are holding Iran accountable for unwarranted aggression that continues to endanger innocent lives,\u201d Central Command chief Adm. <!-- -->Brad Cooper said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>Iran&#8217;s ambassador to the United Nations, Amir Saeid Iravani, accused Washington of escalating the conflict, saying: \u201cThe U.S. is the aggressor, not the victim.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/>US President Donald Trump said he had abandoned plans to impose a 20% transit fee on ships using the Strait of Hormuz after Gulf leaders proposed investing billions of dollars in the United States instead. However, he warned that further US strikes were imminent unless negotiations resumed.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"27\"\/><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a
