US EditionTrump says US has 'major points of agreement' in talks with Iran
President Trump announced a five-day pause on strikes to allow diplomacy, citing major agreement points despite Iran's denial of negotiations, amid ongoing conflict impacting global energy markets.
- On Monday, U.S. President Donald Trump said talks that began Sunday produced 'major points of agreement' and paused threats to strike Iran's power infrastructure, extending the deadline by five days.
- Responding to an ultimatum tied to the Strait of Hormuz, the talks aim to secure Iran's abandonment of nuclear weapons and surrender of enriched uranium after Trump warned he would 'obliterate' Iran's power plants within 48 hours.
- Negotiations are being conducted through envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, who held talks on Sunday, while Iran and state-linked agencies denied any communications or negotiations.
- Markets reacted sharply, with Brent crude and other assets falling while stocks rallied and the dollar weakened as Trump said talks will continue throughout the week.
- If talks fail, the region faces risks as the war has killed more than 2,000 people and Israel conducted strikes on Tehran on Monday, threatening electricity and desalination facilities.
