Reported by 10 outlets · first reported Nov 10, 4:40 AM ET

Trump said further US strikes on Iran are highly unlikely but the US remains locked and loaded. Secretary of State Rubio said there is no need to resume combat because economic pressure is working. Tehran said its offer to reopen Hormuz within two days still stands if conditions are met. Iran denies talks with Washington, while Qatar sees progress.
