Trump says negotiations with Iran will resume

2 min read

President Donald Trump announced that negotiations with Iran would resume Monday after he scrapped a planned military strike over the weekend, saying he did not want more people to die. Iran and Oman are also nearing a separate framework to manage maritime security and a new shipping route, according to Iranian officials, though Iran's foreign ministry spokesman said any agreement would not mean the Strait of Hormuz reopens to its prewar status. Iranian officials also characterized the recent U.S. airstrikes as a war against the region, and gas prices have started to rise after renewed strikes.

Negotiations between the United States and Iran were scheduled to resume Monday.
