Seventeen U.S. service members have been killed since the war in Iran began.
President Donald Trump announced "major combat operations" against Iran on Feb. 28, with massive joint U.S.-Israeli strikes targeting military, government and infrastructure sites.
Delegations from the U.S. and Iran entered negotiations in June aimed at a war-ending deal based on a memorandum of understanding signed by both countries.
The U.S. and Iran have nonetheless continued to exchange strikes, with the strategic Strait of Hormuz the primary flashpoint.
President Donald Trump insisted on Tuesday that Iran "desperately" wants to meet for ceasefire talks despite the U.S. and Iran exchanging limited strikes for over a week.
But, Trump maintained that the war is not yet over telling reporters at the White House, "We're not finished."
"We're not leaving," Trump said.
Multiple crew members were injured in Iranian strikes on a Kuwaiti tanker passing through the Strait of Hormuz on Monday evening, Kuwait’s foreign ministry said in a statement on Tuesday.
The ministry said it had summoned Iran’s ambassador to Kuwait to protest the alleged attack.
"The State of Kuwait renewed its demand for Iran to immediately cease its illegitimate attacks, emphasizing Kuwait's reservation of its right to take necessary measures, and holding Iran fully responsible for this aggression and its ongoing assaults against the State of Kuwait," Kuwait's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement Tuesday.
The Pentagon on Tuesday identified the soldier killed in Iraq over the weekend during the disposal of a downed Iranian one-way attack drone.
Army Sgt. Michael Emmanuel Swinton, 30, of Fayetteville, North Carolina, died during the controlled detonation of the drone at Erbil Air Base, Iraq, the Pentagon said.
Swinton was assigned to D Battery, 2nd Battalion, 55th Air Defense Artillery Regiment, 108th Air Defense Artillery Brigade, Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
At least 17 U.S. troops have been killed since the U.S. and Israel launched attacks against Iran on Feb. 28, while some 500 others have been wounded, according to Defense Department figures and an updated casualty count provided by Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell on Monday.
One service member also remains missing following last week's attack in Jordan, where officials are still working to identify human remains recovered at the scene.

Several power generation and water desalination plants in Kuwait came under attack from Iran for the fourth consecutive day late on Monday, causing fires at a number of facilities, the Ministry of Electricity said in a statement.
Several generating units were taken offline as a precaution to protect equipment and maintain the stability of Kuwait's electricity and water systems, the statement said.
