Israel and Iran have agreed to largely hold off strikes against each other for now, as US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that talks over a peace deal to end the war were in their final stages.
"We're in the final throes of what will be a very, very good deal," Trump told reporters in New York, adding that the Strait of Hormuz would open up "right away".
When asked whether a deal would be a matter of days or weeks, he said it would take "two or three days".
