Trump added in a post on Truth Social that the #US & Iran had had "VERY GOOD AND PRODUCTIVE" conversations over the past 2 days about a "COMPLETE AND TOTAL RESOLUTION OF HOSTILITIES IN THE MIDDLE EAST".
[IOW the tanking global #economy gave him momentary pause]
A reporter for Axios said #Turkey, #Egypt & #Pakistan had met White House envoy Steve Witkoff &, separately, #Iran Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.
The reporter, Barak Ravid, cited an unnamed #US source as saying the discussion was about ending the #war & resolving all outstanding issues.
Araghchi's ministry said there were "initiatives" to reduce tensions, the Mehr news agency reported, adding that Tehran wanted Washington, as the party that began the #war, to be a direct participant.
