Trump says negotiations with Iran have ‘started to get very boring’

  • Donald Trump initially expressed indifference about the ongoing negotiations with Iran, stating he didn't care if they were over and found them "very boring."
  • Trump later contradicted his earlier statements on Truth Social, claiming that talks with the Islamic Republic of Iran were "continuing, at a rapid pace."
  • Iran's state-affiliated news agency Tasnim reported that Iran would cease exchanging messages with the United States through mediators until its demands for a cessation of Israeli operations in Lebanon and Gaza are met.
  • Trump claimed he spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who assured him no troops would go to Beirut, and that Hezbollah agreed to stop shooting after a call with the group's representatives.
  • Oil prices spiked following reports of Iran's withdrawal from talks, but Trump dismissed concerns, predicting oil prices would "drop like a rock."
