The US has been building up its military presence near Iran in recent weeks US President Donald Trump is questioning why Iran has not yet "capitulated" in the face of Washington's military build-up in the Middle East, the US president's special envoy has said. Steve Witkoff told Fox News on Saturday that Trump was "curious" about Iran's position after he had warned of a limited military strike if a deal could not be reached on Tehran's nuclear programme.
Main Idea: Trump is pressing Iran to accept a deal on its nuclear program, while his envoy says the president is still unsure why Tehran has not given in.
Key Points:
A US-Iran standoff could raise oil prices, shake markets, and increase the risk of a wider war that hurts households and small businesses.
A diplomatic deal could reduce war risk and help keep energy costs and market fears lower for US consumers.
