| | | Hello. As the White House tells the BBC plans for talks with Iran remain "fluid", North America correspondent Anthony Zurcher shares his analysis of the latest developments. We also take an in-depth look at the Artemis II mission that will send four astronauts around the Moon, and follow Agatha Christie's footsteps across the world. | | | | | | |
| TOP OF THE AGENDA | | US and Iran give conflicting accounts of potential talks | | | | | Trump postponed threatened strikes on Iranian power plants after what he called "productive'"conversations with Tehran. Credit: Reuters | | The White House has appeared to tamp down speculation surrounding potential US-Iran negotiations after President Donald Trump hailed "very strong talks" between the two nations. In a statement to the BBC, the White House talked of a "fluid situation" and stressed that no formal meeting had been announced. Trump's past few days have been "a mix of diplomacy and diversions", during which the US president did not "provide much in the way of specifics", writes Anthony Zurcher in his analysis. Iran has denied any talks were taking place. Reports that a senior Iranian official could soon meet US Vice-President JD Vance "seem fanciful", says our chief international correspondent Lyse Doucet. | | | | | | | | |
