Description

Donald Trump has announced that his threat to attack Iranian power plants has been put on hold, after what he called “very productive” talks with Iran about “a complete and total resolution of hostilities”. However Iran said no such talks had taken place. The speaker of Iran’s parliament said Trump’s comments were “fake news” and were being used to manipulate the energy markets. The price of oil had plunged after Trump’s comments. Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said its attacks on Iran and Lebanon would continue. It has continued its airstrikes on Iran’s capital Tehran. Iran has fired more missiles at the United Arab Emirates and at Saudi Arabia. Reeta Chakrabarti presents BBC News at Ten reporting by James Landale, Gary O'Donoghue, Jeremy Bowen, Chris Mason, Faisal Islam and Caroline Hawley.
