Trump Says US-Iran Talks May Begin Monday After Strike Plans Paused
US President Donald Trump says fresh negotiations with Iran are expected to begin on Monday after he halted planned military strikes. Trump said Iran, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar had urged restraint because a deal could be close. He claimed discussions were progressing on the Strait of Hormuz and Iran’s nuclear programme, though Tehran has denied asking the US to delay action. Oil prices fell after the announcement, reflecting hopes that tensions around the Strait of Hormuz may ease. The waterway carries about one-fifth of global crude oil and LNG shipments. Iran has not confirmed the proposed talks or disclosed who would attend. The conflicting claims have raised questions over whether Tehran is fully committed to the negotiations.
