Trump Says Iran Talks in Final Stages as U.S. Crude Falls Below $100
President Donald Trump said the U.S. and Iran are in the final stages of negotiations as a ceasefire continues, but warned the two sides remain close to renewed conflict if Tehran does not agree to a deal. Speaking later on Wednesday, Trump said Washington would wait a few days for the “right answer” from Iran and framed the choice as whether Tehran would sign a document or face further attacks. Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said Tehran had received a new U.S. proposal through Pakistani mediation and was examining it, adding that Pakistan’s interior minister was in Tehran to facilitate the exchange of messages. Baqaei said Iran’s demands include the release of frozen assets and an end to the U.S. blockade on Iranian ports.
The diplomacy has also sharpened differences with Israel. The Wall Street Journal reported Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a contentious call on Tuesday, with Netanyahu arguing against a pact to end the war and Trump defending the diplomatic track. A U.S. source cited by Axios said mediators were drafting a letter of intent for Washington and Tehran to sign that would formally end the war and start a 30-day negotiating period over Iran’s nuclear program and the opening of the Strait of Hormuz. U.S. crude fell below $100 a barrel after Trump said the talks were in their final stages.
