Iran-US war latest: Trump pauses nightly attacks to make room for talks, says ambassador

The Independent (UK) · back to the audit

President Donald Trump has paused attacks on Iran to resume negotiations through diplomatic channels, said US ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz.

Oil prices tumbled 5 per cent this morning after the US and Iran paused strikes over the weekend after two weeks of attacks, raising hopes of a diplomatic solution. Brent crude futures fell $4.89, or 5.05 per cent, to $91.89.

US-Iran peace deal hinges on Israel's attacks on Lebanon, says ayatollah. Iran 'has designated the preservation of Lebanon's territorial integrity, and the absolute, unconditional termination of the Zionist regime's aggression as the primary condition for any agreement to ending the imposed war against the aggressive US.'
