WASHINGTON, June 1 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President Donald Trump said Monday that Tehran did not inform Washington before suspending negotiations, and that the move would not lead to renewed major U.S. strikes on Iran.

"They haven't informed us of that," Trump told NBC News in a phone interview. "I think it's fine. I don't particularly want to talk either. We talk too much."

"It doesn't mean we're going to go and start dropping bombs all over there (Iran)," Trump said. "We'll keep the blockade."

Iran's semi-official Tasnim news agency reported Monday that Tehran had suspended the exchange of messages with Washington through mediators in protest over Israel's actions in Lebanon.
