US President Donald Trump said on Monday that America is in good talks with Iran and he hopes that this dispute can be ended through diplomacy. Also, he warned that if talks fail, military attacks will resume. Speaking on Air Force One, Trump said that Tehran wants to talk because we are attacking them very forcefully. He further said, I think there is a good possibility of something good happening. If that doesn’t happen, we will do what we were doing two days ago.
Trump’s statement came two days after Washington suddenly stopped its two-week-long bombing campaign. However, this fragile peace was threatened when drone attacks were reported in Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Iraq, and Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels claimed attacks on Saudi oil infrastructure.
refuse to try to negotiate
Iran denied trying to negotiate. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Ismail Baghai described such reports as fabricated and stressed that it is not in our DNA. However, he confirmed that indirect messages were still being exchanged through intermediaries. Tehran also said it remains in control of the Strait of Hormuz, a vital route for global oil shipping at the center of the crisis.

Huge fall in oil prices
Oil prices fell sharply on hopes that the pause might open the way for diplomacy. Brent crude fell nearly 9% to around $88 a barrel after briefly surpassing $100 a barrel last week. According to reports, Trump halted the bombing campaign after military commanders raised concerns about dwindling targets and ammunition supplies.
America has a lot of ammunition
The US President rejected these claims and said that America has a lot of ammunition and is rapidly replenishing its stockpile. Despite the pause, uncertainty remains as shipping through the Strait of Hormuz is severely disrupted and both Washington and Tehran disagree over future access to the strategic waterway.
