Trump says Iran talks moving fast despite threat to widen war
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.
Iran's Tasnim news agency reported that Tehran had suspended dialogue with mediators over Israel's expanding offensive in Lebanon.
Trump later said he had persuaded Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah to de-escalate.
