US President Donald Trump said Monday that talks with Iran were moving at a "rapid pace", even as Tehran threatened to widen the war by keeping the Strait of Hormuz blocked and activating other pressure points around the region.

Trump later said he had persuaded Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah to de-escalate.
