The dollar held firm near a one-week high on Thursday on a Reuters report that the U.S. had carried out new strikes in Iran targeting a military site, while the yen softened towards a level that triggered central bank intervention last month.
The strikes complicated peace talks underway between Washington and Tehran. Earlier on Wednesday, President Donald Trump had said he was "not satisfied" on a deal with Iran, and dismissed an Iranian state media report that Iran and Oman would jointly manage shipping through the Strait of Hormuz as part of a peace deal.
