US President Donald Trump said negotiations with Iran will begin on Monday after Washington paused a planned military strike. Trump claimed Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar had urged the US to give diplomacy a chance, adding that discussions would focus on reopening the Strait of Hormuz and Iran's nuclear programme.

The attacks came after the United States said it had struck Iranian radar sites and intercepted drones near the Strait of Hormuz. Bahrain and Kuwait said most of the missiles were intercepted, with no reported casualties in the latest attacks
