US President Donald Trump said the war in the Middle East was 'very close to being over' as the US considers a second round of peace talks with Iran in Pakistan. The talks aim to end the six-week war and address Iran's nuclear program.
The US is discussing a possible second round of peace talks with Iran in Pakistan. A Pakistani delegation arrived in Tehran bearing a new message from Washington after last weekend's negotiations in Islamabad failed to result in a deal. US Vice President JD Vance said Iran was being offered a 'grand bargain' to end the war and address the decades-old dispute over Iran's nuclear program. The US has sought to pressure Iran with a blockade of its ports, which Iran has threatened to respond to by shutting down Red Sea trade. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel and the US had 'identical' goals in Iran, including removing enriched material and eliminating enrichment capability. Stocks rose and crude dropped as markets eyed chances of a deal to get oil flowing again through the Strait of Hormuz.
