Yesterday's key developments:
• US President Donald Trump said he had halted plans for new military strikes on Iran, claiming negotiators were close to extending a fragile ceasefire.
• The Israeli prime minister's office said Trump had spoken to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about an emerging "memorandum of understanding" to enter negotiations with Iran, which would include the removal of enriched material and limits on missile production.
• Responding to Trump's latest threats to Iran's oil facilities, the Iranian military command warned that "either oil and gas exports are for everyone or they will be available for no one".
