Trump threatens ‘very strong’ strikes as ‘significant’ progress reported in Iran talks
Pakistani, Qatari mediators working to restore scuttled interim deal after two weeks of fighting, say regional officials, as PM set to meet president for first time since war began
US President Donald Trump announced a pause in military strikes against Iran to allow for diplomatic efforts, despite threatening "very strong military action" if talks fail. Regional officials report "significant" progress in mediation efforts by Qatar and Pakistan to return the US and Iran to an interim ceasefire, with both sides exchanging proposals. The discussions also include a mechanism for managing transit through the Strait of Hormuz. Trump stated, "All of the people that deal with Iran asked me: ‘Don’t fire.’" Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu traveled to Washington to meet with Trump, with Iran being the primary topic of discussion. Netanyahu emphasized his objective to "ensure the security, strength, and future of our beloved State of Israel."
