Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Trump Says New Iran Talks Are Underway
Caption: Trump Says New Iran Talks Are Underway. President Donald Trump says new negotiations with Iran are underway after canceling planned military strikes against the country. Trump said Middle East allies and Iran urged restraint, believing a diplomatic agreement was now within reach instead. Speaking aboard Air Force One, Trump said the proposed attack would have been the largest since World War Two. He declined to set a deadline for negotiations, saying the United States remains ready to act if necessary. Trump also claimed progress had been made toward agreements involving both the Strait of Hormuz and Iran's nuclear program. Iran denied requesting any delay in military action, calling Trump's account false through the semi-official Mehr news agency. Oil prices fell after Trump's announcement as investors reacted to hopes of easing tensions in the Middle East. The White House has not confirmed where the talks will take place or who will participate in negotiations. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
