(Il Sole 24 Ore Radiocor) - Milano, 1 giu - Shares in London closed lower after Iran's state-owned Tasnim news agency said that Tehran has suspended indirect negotiations with the US until Israeli attacks in Lebanon and Gaza are halted.

Earlier, US president Donald Trump had suggested on social media that a deal with Iran would eventually be reached.

"Iran really wants to make a deal, and it will be a good one for the U.S.A. and those that are with us," Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. "Just sit back and relax, it will all work out well in the end," he said.
