Trump Announces Iran Talks, Calls Off Attack

Trump Announces Iran Talks, Calls Off Attack

President Donald Trump said he would start talks with Iran on Monday.

He also said he would not launch a big attack on Iran after friends from Gulf countries asked him to pause.

Because of this, oil prices went down a little.

Iran is trying to find a new way to let ships pass through the Strait of Hormuz, which is a very important waterway for oil.

Some people in Iran think the U.S. is backing down, while others say the U.S. is still strong.

The talks are a big deal because they could end a war that started in February.

Trump wants to stop the war and keep people safe.

The U.S. and Israel also want to stop Iran from building nuclear weapons.

The talks might help with all of that.
