Trump says US and Tehran having 'good talks' as drones hit Iran's neighbours
Yahoo • • world
Key Points:
- President Trump announced ongoing "good talks" with Iran and a potential deal to resolve their conflict, but warned that U.S. strikes would resume if negotiations fail.
- The U.S. abruptly paused a two-week airstrike campaign against Iran, following military advice that bombing had reached its limits and concerns over depleted munitions.
- Despite the U.S. pause, Iran-backed groups launched drone attacks on Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Iraq, with Saudi Arabia intercepting drones targeting petroleum infrastructure.
- Iran denied requesting peace talks with the U.S., stating that while diplomatic channels remain open, claims of Iran seeking negotiations are fabricated.
- The halt in U.S. strikes led to a sharp drop in oil prices, with Brent crude falling over 8%, reflecting eased tensions after weeks of escalating conflict around the Strait of Hormuz.
