Trump Calls Off Iran Strikes, Announces Talks Amid Tehran's Denial of Negotiations
US President Donald Trump announced he called off planned large-scale strikes on Iran following appeals from Gulf allies Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, as well as requests from unnamed Iranian officials. He described the planned attack as the "biggest since World War II" and said new talks with Iran would begin Monday, focusing first on reopening the Strait of Hormuz and then on Iran's nuclear program. Iran denied direct negotiations with the US, stating ongoing discussions were limited to Oman regarding safe passage through the strait. Trump warned this was Tehran's "last chance" to reach a deal and avoid further escalation.
