Donald Trump Insists US Is Negotiating with Iran over an End to War | BBC News
The BBC report focuses on President Donald Trump’s assertion that the United States is in active, albeit covert, negotiations with Iran to bring an end to the Middle‑East war that erupted after the April attacks. Trump made the claim at a Washington fundraising event, insisting that Iranian leaders are “afraid to admit” they are talking, while Tehran flatly denies any dialogue. Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Arachi presented a five‑point counter‑proposal that calls for an immediate cease‑fire, cessation of U.S. and Israeli strikes, reparations, and recognition of Iran’s authority over the Strait of Hormuz. The United States, meanwhile, has reportedly offered a 15‑point plan that includes total dismantlement of Iran’s nuclear program and unconditional surrender, and has begun moving additional troops, including the 82nd Airborne, to the region. Trump’s remarks – “they’re negotiating, but they’re scared to say it because they’ll be killed by their own people” – were met with a stern response from Tehran: “any talk of negotiation is an admission of defeat.” The Iranian side also warned that any settlement must guarantee its control of Hormuz and halt attacks on its proxies, while Israeli officials reiterated that a cease‑fire must strip Iran of nuclear capability and curb its regional influence. The clash between the two diplomatic tracks heightens uncertainty for global oil markets, as Hormuz controls roughly 5% of world oil flow, and could force further escalation if the U.S. and Israel pursue a military solution. Investors and policymakers will be watching for any shift in the narrative, because a breakthrough—or its absence—will shape regional stability and energy prices for months to come.
