Trump's step-back sent share prices higher & #oil prices sharply lower to below $100 a barrel, a sudden reversal of ⁠a market swoon caused by his weekend threats & Iran's vows to respond.

Those gains were in jeopardy on Tuesday, however, after Iran's powerful parliament speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf — the interlocutor on the Iranian side…— said no talks had taken place, calling the claims "fake news".

3 senior #Israel officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said #Trump appeared determined to reach a deal, but that they thought it highly unlikely #Iran would agree to #US demands in any new round of negotiations. [He thinks just because he wants it he’ll get it]

After Trump's Truth Social comment on Monday, Iran said no talks had yet been held. Its embassy in South Africa posted an image on X showing a child's pink steering wheel placed on a car dashboard in front of the passenger seat, apparently mocking Trump's idea, aired to reporters, that he could control the #StraitOfHormuz waterway alongside Iran's supreme leader. [that’s a pretty sick burn]

@Nonilex if people in his government cannot oppose him, other world leaders will . That’s just the way it goes with that guy

… #Trump had told reporters his special envoy #SteveWitkoff & son-in-law #JaredKushner [no wonder Iran isnt taking the US *talks* seriously], who had been negotiating with #Iran before the #war, had held discussions with a top Iranian official into the evening on Sunday & would continue on Monday.

A European official said that, while there had been no direct negotiations between the two nations, Egypt, Pakistan & Gulf ⁠states were relaying messages.
