Trump suggests new talks with Iran to begin on Monday - BBC
President Trump has claimed that new negotiations with Iran are set to begin, despite denials from Iranian officials. The situation involves tensions over the Strait of Hormuz and potential nuclear agreements.
Why it matters
The conflicting narratives between the U.S. and Iran regarding diplomatic talks create significant uncertainty in global energy markets and international security.

The statement came after US President Donald Trump said new talks on ending the war in Iran would begin on Monday - and that he had called off "massive" strikes on the country for this purpose.
Trump did not specify who would take part in the talks. Iran, however, said it was not negotiating with the US - and had no plans to do so.
Tehran's denial appears to have irked the US president, who later wrote on his Truth Social media platform that Iran's leadership was "unbelievably duplicitous".
