What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover or tap one to see who reported it.
In recent weeks, Trump has threatened to renew strikes with U.S. media reports suggesting that hostilities could resume after the U.S. midterm elections this week.
Trump previously acknowledged that the highly unpopular war with Iran was at least partially responsible for the stinging defeat that his Republican Party suffered in the Nov 3 vote.
In the CNN interview on Nov 8, Trump once again suggested that the economic pressure Iran is under will force its leaders into accepting a peace deal on the United States’ terms.
“For the past few days, there has been no more travel (by mediators), and the reason for this is the shock that the election results in the United States have caused to everyone,” Araghchi told state television.
