Trump suggests new talks with Iran to begin on Monday

US President Donald Trump has said new talks with Iran will begin on Monday, after calling off what he said would have been "massive" strikes on the country."They knew the extent of the attack because they saw it forming," he told reporters on board Air Force One on Sunday. "We're talking to them in the form of a negotiation. It begins tomorrow afternoon."In an earlier post on Truth Social, Trump said he had been asked by Iran and US allies in the Middle East to "hold off" on any attack as the "perimeters" of a deal had been agreed.Iran is yet to respond to Trump's remarks. The US president has repeatedly vowed that a negotiated end to the war is near, only for tit-for-tat strikes to resume.In his remarks on Air Force One, Trump declined to outline a deadline for a deal to be struck with Tehran, adding: "We'll just see how it is. We're ready to go anytime we want... I'm not looking to kill people."Trump added that Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman - as well as US partners such as the United Arab Emirates and Qatar - had urged him against conducting strikes over the weekend."We were all set to go," Trump said. "The reason they asked is [that] they think there's a deal," he said. "There's a deal on Hormuz, and there will be a deal on the nuclear."Global oil prices fell on Monday morning in Asia trading after Trump's announcement. Brent Crude oil was down by 4.5% at $83.98 (£62.26), while US-traded oil was 4.6% lower at $80.74 (£59.85).
