Donald Trump says the United States and Iran have held talks on the "complete and total resolution of hostilities" in the Middle East. He says that, as a result of the talks, he has postponed threatened strikes on Iranian power plants for five days. However, Iran's foreign ministry denies such talks have taken place, according to the BBC's US partner CBS. As the US and Israel war with Iran enters its fourth week, there are growing number of people in the United States calling for a proper resolution. This is a critical moment where the war could turn into a long drawn-out conflict. Or it could be a moment where Donald Trump dashes for a quick exit. The BBC’s world affairs correspondent Joe Inwood and the BBC’s Persian service’s Ghoncheh Habibiazad discuss with Tristan Redman where this could all go next. New episodes of The Global Story are released daily. If you’re in the UK, listen on BBC Sounds. If you live outside the UK, listen on BBC.com or wherever you get your podcas
