The White House said plans for possible talks with Iran remain “fluid” and not final. It urged caution against speculation amid mixed signals from both sides. US President Donald Trump said he delayed strikes on Iranian power plants after “productive” contacts. Iran denied this and called such claims “fake news”. An Iranian official said Tehran received “points from the US” through mediators, which could lead to talks. Amid the uncertainty, global oil prices rose again above $100 per barrel after a brief fall on Monday, reflecting market concerns over the ongoing conflict. (PC: BBC)
