(Bloomberg) -- US and Israeli jets struck Iranian vessels in the Strait of Hormuz and other targets, hours after President Donald Trump had suggested negotiations with Tehran over an interim deal were progressing.

The attack took place south of Larak Island in the Strait of Hormuz, with several Iranian personnel killed, Iran’s state-run Nour News reported, without providing further details. Trump earlier said negotiations between the US and Iran over an agreement to extend their ceasefire and reopen the strait were “proceeding nicely.”

The renewed fighting underscores the fragility of the ceasefire between the US and Iran, just as expectations were rising for a longer truce and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. The critical waterway has been all but closed since the US and Israel attacked the Islamic Republic in late February, triggering an energy shock and a wave of global inflation.

Stocks trimmed gains and crude oil climbed after the US strikes dampened optimism about a deal with Tehran. Brent rose about 2% near $98 a barrel after slumping more than 7% Monday...............................
