President Donald Trump said aboard Air Force One that U.S.-Iran negotiations would begin Monday, claiming he had paused what he called the largest planned military strike since World War II after appeals from Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar. Iran’s Foreign Ministry immediately denied any talks were scheduled, contradicting the White House narrative. The dispute comes amid a five-month conflict that escalated sharply in late February with joint U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iranian infrastructure, disrupting global shipping and roiling energy markets as Tehran asserts control over security in the Strait of Hormuz.
