Trump calls off large-scale strike on Iran, says talks start Monday
President Trump says the U.S. halted what would have been its biggest military operation since World War II at the request of Gulf allies and Iran, and announced negotiations on the Strait of Hormuz and Iran’s nuclear programme would begin on Monday afternoon. Iran denies asking for the strike to be stopped and says no deal exists to reopen the waterway, while confirming ongoing Oman-mediated talks are in final stages.

U.S. President Donald Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One that America and Iran will begin negotiations on Monday afternoon, aiming for an agreement on the Strait of Hormuz and the denuclearisation of Iran.
He said the United States had been poised to launch a massive military strike—the largest since World War II—but called it off at the request of Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, and Iran, who argued a diplomatic solution was possible.
Trump said he is prepared to resume bombing at any moment, but his priority is a deal. He added that he thinks there will be an agreement on Hormuz first, then on the nuclear issue, though no deadline has been set.
Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araqchi said Oman-mediated talks on reopening the strait are progressing well and are on track to be finalised, according to Iranian media. However, semi-official news agency Fars cited sources denying any deal to reopen the waterway, and military officials said restrictions will remain as long as the U.S. continues hostile actions.
Iran’s official Mehr news agency rejected Trump’s claim that Tehran asked for the strike to be halted, calling it another lie, as reported by hindi.moneycontrol.com. Meanwhile, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said American strikes had severely damaged Iran’s naval, air, and missile defence capabilities, making Iran more willing to negotiate.
The venue, format, and representatives for Monday’s talks are unknown. The Strait of Hormuz handles about 15 million barrels of crude oil per day, roughly 34% of global seaborne crude trade, according to the International Energy Agency as cited in publimetro.com.mx.
