Nothing gets through to Iran’s ‘unbelievably duplicitous’ leadership, Trump says

US President Donald Trump has accused Iran's leadership of being "unbelievably duplicitous" and "duplicitous". According to the Jerusalem Post and Middle East Eye, Trump stated that "nothing gets through to Iran, unless we want it to, and nothing will get through, unless a deal, or total surrender, is accomplished."

Iran had denied talks with the US, despite Trump's announcement that negotiations would begin after he cancelled strikes against the country, as reported by the Middle East Eye.

Oil prices fell after Trump said he had suspended planned strikes on Iran, as reported by Al-Monitor and Semafor, with the latter also reporting a 5% tumble following Trump's statement that the "perimeters of a deal" were in place.
