Trump Denies Offering Iran Sanctions Relief; Qatar Mediates Peace Talks
U.S. President Donald Trump has denied reports that he offered sanctions relief to Iran, calling the Axios report a 'HOAX.' He claimed in a Truth Social post that he had not made any concessions or offers to Tehran regarding its nuclear program. Meanwhile, Qatar continues efforts to mediate between Washington and Tehran. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi met with Qatari mediators in Doha to receive U.S. feedback on Iran's proposal for reopening the Strait of Hormuz. The talks aim at finding common ground to avoid conflict repercussions. Oil prices saw a slight decline, with Brent crude down 0.31% and WTI futures dropping by 0.47%, as tensions between the two nations remain unresolved.
