President Trump says he is in no rush to resume strikes on Iran, as Qatari-mediated indirect talks progress and Iran's president says the Supreme Leader has authorised the government to pursue dialogue.

The outcome will decide whether the Israel-Iran confrontation de-escalates or widens into a regional war involving Hezbollah and Lebanon, and the talks remain unresolved.
