"We hit them very hard before... but now they are interacting well," Trump said, referring to the Doha talks aimed at easing tensions after recent exchanges of fire between the US and Iran.

According to Reuters, a source involved in the negotiations and an Iranian official previously revealed that the United States and Iran held technical-level talks in Doha today, with both sides attempting to reach consensus on shipping passage through the Strait of Hormuz and ensuring a lasting ceasefire.
