The US ambassador to the United Nations has told Fox News that President Donald Trump has paused attacks on Iran to allow more room for diplomacy, Reuters reports.
“He’s giving talks some space, he’s giving it a little bit of room,” Mike Waltz told the broadcaster.
Waltz did not provide further detail on the nature of the talks, but there has been a weekend lull in the fighting between Iran and the United States.
The Pentagon paused bombing operations after 13 nights of escalating strikes and there were no weekend reports of attacks by Iran on its neighbours.
