US President Donald Trump announced he was postponing a planned strike on Iran's energy grid for five days, citing productive negotiations with Iranian officials, but Iran's parliament speaker denied such talks had occurred and called the claim "fake news." The announcement reversed sharp market declines, sending oil prices down roughly 8 percent, while Pakistan indicated talks between US and Iranian officials could be held in Islamabad as soon as the week.
