Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Sunday that "we don't see any reason why we should talk with Americans" as President Trump has claimed Iran is seeking a deal to end the war between the U.S. and Iran. "We never asked for a ceasefire, and we have never asked even for negotiation," Araghchi said on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan." As the war entered its third week, Mr. Trump has claimed in recent days that Iran wants to reach a deal.
Main Idea: Iran’s foreign minister says Iran sees no reason to talk with the U.S., even as President Trump says the two sides are close to a deal.
Key Points:
No talks between Iran and the Trump administration could keep war risk high, which may raise oil prices and shake markets for households and small businesses.
A failed deal could also keep pressure on US leaders to avoid a wider conflict, limiting the chance of bigger costs for taxpayers and troops.
