Trump told Fox News he had spoken directly with Iranian officials who asked him to stop the strikes, that the bombing would 'stop shortly' but further strikes remained possible, and that the U.S. had fired 49 Tomahawk missiles at targets in Iran. Iranian officials rejected the claim of direct contact.

Why it matters

The competing claims came as Qatari mediators held talks in Tehran that night.
