Trump says he does not know if Iran is going to 'give up yet'
Indirect talks with U.S. mediators continue as Iran faces sanctions and a blockade that has cut oil exports, officials said.

- Rising oil prices from the war pose a major challenge for the Republican Party ahead of midterm elections, as Trump continues to offer shifting goals and timelines for the military campaign against Iran.
