Diplomatic efforts to end the two-month U.S.-Iran conflict have stalled, with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi arriving in Moscow for high-level talks with President Vladimir Putin. It was reported by Axios on Sunday that Iran gave the U.S. a new proposal through Pakistani mediators on reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and the ending of the war, with nuclear negotiations postponed for a later stage. While U.S. President Donald Trump stated that Tehran simply needs to "telephone" to negotiate an end to the hostilities.
President Donald Trump has urged Iran to "pick up the phone" to end their conflict, insisting on Fox News that Tehran’s agreement to abandon nuclear weapons remains entirely non-negotiable. However, diplomatic momentum faltered over the weekend after President Trump abruptly cancelled his envoys' planned trip to Islamabad. In response, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi embarked on a regional diplomatic tour through Oman, Pakistan, and Russia, with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian steadfastly refusing to negotiate under the pressure of Washington's naval blockade.
Global oil prices have surged by nearly 2%, with Brent crude reaching $107.49 a barrel, following the weekend collapse of U.S.-Iran peace talks. The diplomatic deadlock means the strategic Strait of Hormuz remains heavily restricted, with shipping data showing just a single oil products tanker entering the Gulf on Sunday. Amidst the ongoing blockade and tight global supplies, analysts at Goldman Sachs have raised their fourth-quarter forecasts, warning of unprecedented market shocks and severe refined product shortages.
U.S. President Donald Trump has described the 31-year-old gunman who opened fire at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner as a "pretty sick guy" whose relatives had previously warned authorities about his behaviour. Investigators revealed that the suspect Cole Tomas Allen sent his family an "anti-Christian" manifesto shortly before the attack, dubbing himself the "Friendly Federal Assassin" and outlining a targeted hit-list of senior administration officials.
Buckingham Palace has confirmed that King Charles III's four-day state visit to the United States will go ahead as planned, despite the weekend shooting at a high-profile Washington gala attended by President Trump. Following urgent transatlantic security discussions, Trump assured the public that the monarch will "be very safe" during his stay. The historic trip, which features an address to Congress marking 250 years of American independence, aims to reinforce strained U.S.-UK relations amidst ongoing transatlantic disagreements over the war in Iran.
