• Persian Gulf states have cautioned Iran that they may step in if they are hit amid any escalation between Tehran and Washington, Israel’s Kan public broadcaster reported.
• Trump said Iran is negotiating with the US and a deadline has been conveyed, while Iranian leaders insist talks cannot be forced through threats and warn of a decisive response to any attack.
