Qatar News Agency / statement by the US President: evidence for “US president describes Iran talks as productive while port restrictions remain in place”
US President Donald Trump said talks with Iran were productive and stated that Washington would not launch an attack before the US congressional midterm elections on 3 November. He also said restrictions on Iranian ports remained in effect and made claims about oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz; these are attributed statements rather than independently verified outcomes.

Horizon synthesis and use
