Donald Trump now says a resumption of US strikes on Iran is "quite unlikely", according to Al Jazeera. Al Jazeera reports that, after talks with Qatar's prime minister, Trump said there was "positive momentum" towards ending the war.
That is a softer tone than the line he gave Reuters earlier on Monday, when he said the US was "ready to go anytime we want". The two remarks do not strictly contradict each other, since Trump has not ruled out further strikes.
Iran has set out conditions of its own. Al Jazeera reports Iran as saying it is impossible to move towards peace unless the US lifts its naval blockade, releases seized assets and lifts sanctions. Iran also accuses Washington of reneging on its commitments.
Trump's account of progress and Iran's accusation against Washington have not been independently checked.
