U.S. President Donald Trump said negotiations with Iran will begin Monday, following requests from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar to avoid planned strikes as they believe a deal could be reached. Trump said discussions would focus on the Strait of Hormuz and Iran’s nuclear program, while expressing a preference for diplomacy over further conflict.
The announcement helped ease market concerns, with oil prices falling in early Asian trading. Meanwhile, Iran said talks with Oman over a new maritime route through the Strait of Hormuz were progressing, though officials stressed the discussions were separate from decisions about reopening or closing the strategic waterway.
Tensions remain high after a tanker reported an explosion near the Strait of Hormuz, although the vessel and crew were unharmed. Iranian officials said mediators are working to revive previous U.S.-Iran agreements and move toward broader negotiations, but the outcome remains uncertain amid ongoing disputes and recent military tensions.
