[00:00:00]President Trump is set to huddle with his cabinet at the White House today amid ongoing talks toward a peace deal with Iran. It comes after the Pentagon said it launched defensive strikes this week on targets in southern Iran, including missile launch sites and Iranian boats attempting to lay mines in the Strait of Hormuz.

[00:00:25]Meanwhile, a White House that says that the ceasefire is still in effect and that we are close to a deal. I mean, these two things don't seem to go together. Iran slammed the strikes as a ceasefire violation and has hinted it may retaliate. Tuesday, Iranian state TV released footage of a US MQ-9 Reaper drone that its Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed to have shot down.

[00:00:46]Further complicating efforts toward peace is Israel's intensifying operation against Hezbollah in Lebanon. Sources tell CBS News that ending that conflict is an element of a draft peace proposal.

[00:00:57]As the president tries to clinch a victory abroad, he's claimed a political win at home.

[00:01:04]CBS News projects that Trump-backed Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton beat out four-term Senator John Cornyn for the state's Republican Senate nomination.
