Iranian media say no direct or indirect contact with Trump, claim he ‘backed down’

Iran’s Fars news agency, citing an unnamed Iranian source, says there has been no direct contact with US President Donald Trump, “not through an intermediary”. The source claimed Trump “backed down” after being warned that Iran would target power plants. The report added that Trump had said talks with Iran were under way, despite the source denying any such communication. The claims could not be independently verified, and there has been no immediate comment from US officials. Al Jazeera’s Mohamed Vall has the latest from the Iranian capital Tehran.
