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.
- Trump scrapped the "biggest attack since World War II" on Sunday after appeals from Gulf allies, including Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates.
- Earlier Monday, Iran denied negotiations were underway, prompting Trump to call the leadership "unbelievably duplicitous"; he previously backed away from strikes in April and May citing "serious negotiations."
- Arizona Democrat Mark Kelly criticized the approach as "rather erratic," while Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy warned escalation could trigger "a lot of inflation for the American people."
- 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.
