Iran denies negotiating with US after Trump announces talks
Iran said its talks are only with Oman on a temporary shipping route through the Strait of Hormuz, while Trump said negotiations with Washington would begin.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump halted planned strikes against Iran, insisting that new negotiations represent Iran's "last chance" to reach a deal and prevent military escalation.

- Polling released last week shows about 37% of Republicans and the majority of Democrats believe the war, which began Feb. 28, has not been worthwhile, complicating the midterm landscape.
