  "account": "In an interview with the Financial Times, US President Donald Trump stated that the United States does not currently plan to resume attacks on Iran. This assertion followed military strikes on Iran's Qeshm Island after Tehran claimed to have downed an American drone, according to a US official. Trump expressed optimism about ongoing indirect negotiations with Iran, indicating that \"we seem to be getting everything we want.\" He clarified that the US military remains prepared for potential action but emphasized that the situation may not necessitate renewed military conflict. Trump asserted that the US and Iran are not currently at war, drawing parallels to previous operations like Operation Midnight Hammer, which he claimed eliminated Iran's nuclear potential. The president also mentioned ongoing discussions concerning Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium, a contentious issue in past negotiations. However, Iranian officials reported that Iran and the US are far from reaching a deal to end the conflict, with US Vice President Kamala Harris stating that \"good conversations\" have occurred but a resolution remains uncertain.",
  "summary": "US Vice President JD Vance said on Sunday that there had been \"a number of good conversations with the Iranians\" after officials from the Islamic regime met with Qatari mediators in Doha.",
