The US struck targets in Iran, the first since the start of the ceasefire and amid fragile talks between Tehran and Washington. The strikes come as the US is becoming anxious to come to a deal and end the war, as a growing number of Americans oppose the war ahead of the midterm elections. Iran has accused the US of violating the ceasefire and asked for the unfreezing of Iranian funds as part of the deal. FRANCE 24's Philip Turle tells us about where the talks stand now.
