Trump said the US delayed the strikes "for a little while, hopefully maybe forever," because "we've had very big discussions with Iran, and we'll see what they amount to."
There was no immediate confirmation from Tehran of renewed talks, and Tehran's leaders have taken a hard line, insisting the US ends a blockade of Iranian ports and provides assurances they won't be attacked again.
