US claims, Iran denies talks after Trump postpones energy strikes

US claims, Iran denies talks after Trump postpones energy strikes

US President Donald Trump speaks to reporters before boarding Air Force One at Palm Beach International Airport in West Palm Beach, Florida. (AFP) Iran denied Monday that it had engaged in negotiations with the United States, after President Donald Trump ‌postponed a threat to bomb Iran's power grid because of what he described as productive talks with unidentified Iranian officials.Trump wrote early ​in the US morning on his Truth ‌Social platform that the US and Iran had held "very good and productive" conversations about a "complete and total resolution of hostilities in the ‌Middle East".As a result, he ⁠said, he was postponing a ‌plan to hit Iran's energy grid for five days. His announcement ‌sent share prices sharply higher and oil prices sharply lower, a sudden reversal to a market swoon caused by his weekend threats and Iran's vows to ⁠respond.He later told reporters that his special envoy Steve Witkoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner, who had been negotiating with Iran before the war, had held discussions with a top Iranian official into the evening on Sunday that were to continue Monday."We have had very, very strong talks. We'll see where they lead. We have major points of agreement, I would say, almost all points of agreement," he told reporters before departing Florida for Memphis.In Memphis he said Washington had been negotiating with Iran "for a long time, and this time they mean business," adding: "I think it could very well end up being a good deal for everybody."He did not identify the Iranian official in touch with Witkoff and Kushner, but said: "We're ​dealing with the man who I believe is the most respected and the leader.""We're dealing with some people that I find to be very reasonable, very solid. The people within know who they are. They're very respected, and maybe one of them will be exactly what we're looking for."Iran's powerful parliament ‌speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf said on X that there ⁠had been no such talks ​with the United States, and ridiculed the suggestion as an attempt to rig financial markets."No negotiations have been held with ​the US, and fakenews is used to manipulate the financial and oil markets and escape the quagmire in which the US and Israel are trapped," he wrote."Iranian people demand complete and remorseful punishment of the aggressors. All Iranian officials stand firmly behind their supreme leader and people until this goal is achieved."Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards said they were launching fresh attacks on US targets, and described Trump's words as "psychological operations" that were "worn out"."The contradictory behaviour of the US president does not cause us any negligence on the war front or the continuation of the battle with the hostile enemy," the Guards said in a statement.Although there was no immediate confirmation that talks had already taken place as described by Trump, there were indications of outreach, with third countries acting as potential mediators or helping to set up contacts. Iran's foreign ministry described initiatives to reduce tensions, without giving further details.A Pakistani official and a second source said talks on ending the war could be held in Pakistan ‌as soon as this week.The Pakistani official said US ‌Vice President JD Vance, as well as Witkoff and Kushner, ⁠were expected to meet Iranian officials in Islamabad. A second Pakistani official said Islamabad was relaying messages between the United States and Iran.An Israeli official and ⁠two other sources familiar with the matter said the interlocutor on the ⁠Iranian side was Qalibaf, the parliament speaker, who has become increasingly influential.A European official said there had been no direct negotiations between the US and Iran but Egypt, Pakistan and Gulf states were relaying messages.Trump's announcement that he was holding off on his plan to hit Iran's grid abruptly reversed a plunge in global markets, which had shuddered Monday in Asia and Europe and had been on course to open sharply lower in the United States following the weekend threats.Iran had responded to Trump's threats by saying it would hammer the infrastructure of US allies in the Middle East, raising the prospect ​that an extreme disruption to global energy supplies could last longer than previously expected.The respite sent the Brent crude oil benchmark tumbling around 8% to about $103 a barrel. Iran has effectively closed the key Strait of Hormuz, through which about a fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas flows. Trump has demanded Iran open the strait, but Tehran says it will not do so until the United States and Israel call off their attacks.  Related Story

Vietnam, Russia advance plans for first nuclear power plant

Vietnam and Russia Monday signed a co-operation agreement on the construction of Vietnam's first nuclear power plant, Russia's Rosatom nuclear agency said Monday.Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh was visiting energy-rich Russia as Vietnam seeks to shore up its fuel reserves at a time of disruption to energy supplies caused by the war in the Middle East, sparking fears of fuel shortages around the world.Since the US-Israeli war against Iran began in late February, the cost of 95-octane petrol and diesel in Vietnam, a manufacturing hub, has soared by 50% and 70% respectively.The agreement lays out the legal framework for the construction of two reactors with a total output of 2,400MW at Vietnam's proposed Ninh Thuan nuclear power plant, Rostam said.Rosatom head Alexey Likhachev said the agreement would be the 'foundation for a long-term industrial partnership, which will strengthen Vietnam's energy independence and open up new opportunities for economic growth'.No timeline was given for when construction would start or when the plant might come online.Moscow and Hanoi had initially agreed to build the Ninh Thuan 1 atomic power station back in 2010, but later decided to suspend construction.Another agreement between Russia's top liquefied natural gas (LNG) producer Novatek and a Vietnamese buyer was also signed recently, Novatek's CEO Leonid Mikhelson said Monday.'We have been in negotiations with potential buyers for over five years, and have very recently signed a preliminary supply agreement with one of them. We are ready to commence deliveries at the earliest opportunity,' he told state broadcaster Rossiya 24, without naming the customer.Russia and Vietnam have also signed a deal on oil and gas production in both countries, the TASS state news agency reported, citing Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, without giving details.
