Al Jazeera reported that Trump said he had called off a planned attack, which he described as potentially the biggest since World War II, to give diplomacy a chance. The talks are set to begin on Monday afternoon, though details about the venue and participants were not disclosed.
Meanwhile, Iran has been nearing a deal with Oman over a new route through the Strait of Hormuz, according to The Guardian. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei told state television that negotiations focused on agreeing to a new route through the strait. However, he insisted that such an agreement did not mean the reopening of the strait and that it “will in no way return to the status it was before February 28th,” the day the war started.
CNBC reported that oil prices dropped sharply after Trump's announcement, with Brent crude falling more than 4% to about $83 per barrel. The decline reversed part of last month’s surge when both benchmarks gained more than 20 percent as renewed U.S.-Iran fighting and attacks on commercial vessels near Oman intensified concerns over shipping through the region.
