Trump and Iranian officials made conflicting public statements about potential US-Iran agreements that led to diplomatic setbacks
US President Trump claimed Iran had agreed to open the Strait of Hormuz and export uranium, following a social media post by Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi about opening shipping routes during the Lebanon ceasefire. The statements caused oil prices to drop $12 per barrel but triggered backlash in Iran, with officials calling Araghchi's post incomplete or wrong. Iran subsequently said it would reinstate the blockade and refuse uranium exports, while talks scheduled for Monday were called off.
