United States President Donald Trump says he has postponed a planned attack on Iran at the request of Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, and added that “serious negotiations are now taking place”.
Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian said “dialogue does not mean surrender”, and that Tehran had entered the “dialogue with dignity, authority, and the preservation of the nation’s rights”.
