Latest: At 06:45 Beijing time, Iran's state television reported that Iran and the U.S. have finally concluded their latest round of face-to-face talks. Both sides' expert teams are now exchanging documents, "Despite some unresolved differences, negotiations will continue."
The two sides talked for a total of 14 hours, from afternoon until late night.
Under Pakistan's proposal and with acceptance from both Iranian and U.S. delegations, the next round of talks has been scheduled to take place several hours later—right after sunrise on Sunday.
Trump is also waiting for updates. He had just berated a journalist on the White House lawn, pointing directly at him.
Journalist: Iran doesn't take your threat to reopen the Strait of Hormuz seriously at all!
Trump: How do you know that? You know nothing! What media outlet are you from?
Journalist: NBC News.
Trump: Well, then it’s fake news! Let me tell you—We’ve won. No matter what! We’ve already defeated their military. They don’t have a navy. All 158 vessels are underwater, on the seabed. All their minesweepers and so-called minelayers. Can you imagine? A country with 28 mine-laying ships. Do you think that’s impressive?
They’ve all been defeated, by the way. All sunk to the bottom of the sea!
No matter how you look at it, they have no navy! No radar! No air force!
All their leaders are finished. Khomeini (should be Khamenei) is gone. He ruled for many years. He’s out. Let’s see what happens now.
But from my standpoint, I don't care!
Thank you, bye!
