U.S. President Donald Trump said "the strikes will stop soon" but warned of additional bombing if Iran does not sign an agreement.

Trey Yingst, Fox News chief foreign correspondent, reported Monday that he had just spoken by phone with Trump, who was in the White House situation room. According to the report, Trump claimed, "I spoke directly with Iranian officials tonight," and "they asked us to stop the bombing."

Yingst said, "At the time we were speaking, the U.S. had fired 49 Tomahawk missiles, and fighter jet bombing was also under way." Trump described the matter as "the most seriously violated ceasefire in world history," Yingst reported.

Iran, on the other hand, denied any direct talks with Trump.
