Donald Trump says the Iran war "militarily is effectively over" declaring that there is "positive momentum" behind negotiations to end the Middle East conflict.

"We're just keeping it the status quo," the US President said on Monday. "And we're doing that really at the behest of countries that are their neighbours."

Addressing reporters from the White House press briefing room, Trump said that renewed US attacks on Iran were 'highly unlikely' but that the US was "locked and loaded" should the circumstances change.
