US President Donald Trump announced new talks with Iran on Monday, following his call to cancel a massive attack. The talks were at the request of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and other countries. Iran has denied any negotiations with Washington. A cargo vessel was reportedly hit by an unknown projectile off Oman's coast, although the Iranian Foreign Ministry stated they were negotiating a temporary shipping corridor with Oman.
Trump claimed that the Strait of Hormuz was already controlled by the United States Navy. Iran executed two men convicted of spying for Israel, bringing the total number of executions under the war with Israel and the US to over 1,600. Oil prices fell sharply after Trump's announcement of new talks.
