Iran's Refusal to Attend Peace Talks Leads to Stock Market Declines
Stock markets fell on Tuesday as Iran refused to attend peace talks in Pakistan, leading to increased tensions and a rise in oil prices. Major indices like the S&P 500, Dow Jones, and Nasdaq 100 closed lower, with the S&P 500 down 0.63%. The situation was further complicated by Vice President Vance's delayed trip and President Trump's comments on extending the ceasefire.
