WASHINGTON/TEHRAN: The European Union has issued a strong call to end hostilities in the Middle East as conflicting reports emerge regarding potential peace talks between the United States and Iran. US President Donald Trump stated on Monday that preliminary discussions with Tehran have been “very productive,” leading him to postpone military strikes on Iranian power plants.
Following this announcement, global oil prices dropped, and major US stock indexes rose by over 1%.President Trump claimed that Tehran is willing to reach a settlement and has agreed to “zero” uranium enrichment. However, Iranian officials have officially denied that any direct talks took place.
Despite this denial, reports suggest a senior Iranian Foreign Ministry official confirmed receiving and reviewing proposals from Washington. Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remarked that the current situation offers an opportunity to secure an agreement that safeguards Israel’s vital interests. (Iranintl)
