Trump had threatened to hit Iran “very hard” and was reportedly considering renewed attacks including against energy infrastructure, with US embassies across the region on alert. — AFP pic First Published: Monday, 03 Aug 2026 8:55 AM MYT WASHINGTON, Aug 3 — US President Donald Trump said that new negotiations with Iran will begin today after he decided to hold off on striking the Islamic republic to pursue a deal to end the war entering its sixth month. Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump said talks would begin on Monday afternoon and expressed hope for a negotiated settlement.

Furthermore, Israeli media reported that intermediaries are trying to restore a memorandum of understanding signed last month to keep the Strait of Hormuz open and free of transit fees for 60 days. Following a return to strikes last month, fears had mounted that the fighting could escalate once again. Hours after the US had called off major strikes Iran yesterday said it was nearing a deal with Oman over a new route through the Strait of Hormuz.
In addition, Trump later announced on Truth Social that he was pausing the planned strikes, citing progress in talks on the Strait of Hormuz and Iran's nuclear programme. The leap for the 10-year yield has already sent the average long-term US mortgage rate to its highest level in a year. The S P 500 climbed 0.7 per cent after veering between gains and losses through the day.
