Tehran said on June 12 it had not reached a final decision on a deal to end the Middle East war, despite U.S. President Donald Trump claiming an agreement could be signed in days and cancelling threatened strikes on Iran.
Trump's statements fueled a stock market rally and tanked oil prices, again spurring hopes a resolution was nearing in the war triggered by U.S.-Israeli strikes in February.
Claiming that talks with Iran had been "brought to the highest level of Iranian leadership and approved," Trump said he had "cancelled the scheduled strikes and bombings against Iran this evening."
