In a social media post on Monday, President Donald Trump said that talks with Iran were continuing "at a rapid pace." The post came after Trump told CNBC in an interview earlier on Monday that he "couldn't care less" if negotiations with Tehran failed.

Iranian state-affiliated outlet Tasnim reportedly said Monday that the country suspended talks with Washington in retaliation to Israel's military action in Lebanon. In a separate social media post, Trump said he spoke to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Iran-backed Hezbollah representatives, with both agreeing to stop the fighting.
