The fog of war. Who knows at this point?
Trump: 'Complete and total resolution of hostilities' discussed.
US president says Witkoff, Kushner spoke to Iranian official,
but refused to identify who (or is that whom?).
Top Iranian official calls comments fake news aimed at markets.
Iran denied on Monday that it had engaged in negotiations with the United States, after President Donald Trump postponed a threat to bomb Iran's power grid because of what he described as productive talks with unidentified Iranian officials.

Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform that the
U.S. and Iran had held "very good and productive" conversations about a "complete and total resolution of hostilities in the Middle East". As a result, he said, he was postponing for five days a plan to hit Iran's energy grid. His announcement (at 7:23AM, or was it 7:24AM?) sent
share prices higher and
oil prices sharply lower to below $100 a barrel, a sudden reversal to a market swoon caused by his weekend threats and Iran's vows to respond.
Could be just a coincidence though.
An Israeli official and two other sources familiar with the matter said the interlocutor on the Iranian side was Iran's powerful parliament speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf.
Oil prices fell on Monday morning after President Donald Trump said the U.S. was holding off on striking Iran’s energy infrastructure amid productive talks between the two countries.

Qalibaf said on X that there had been no such talks with the United States, and ridiculed the suggestion as an attempt to rig financial markets. "No negotiations have been held with the U.S., and fakenews is used to manipulate the financial and oil markets and escape the quagmire in which the US and Israel are trapped," he wrote.
