Story summary

On August 5, 2026, President Donald Trump urged Iran to sign a peace deal, stating it was their "last chance" and warning of potential "decapitation strikes" if no agreement is reached. Despite this, Iran denied holding any direct negotiations with the U.S., maintaining its position during the five-month-old war. Qatar reported on August 5 that mediators were making progress in ending the conflict between the two countries, though Tehran continued to reject Washington's claims of ongoing talks. Oil prices fell more than 5% as hopes for a resolution grew, reflecting investor uncertainty and past failed negotiations. Trump also warned Iran it would face severe consequences if the Strait of Hormuz does not reopen soon for shipping, threatening "hard hits" if no deal is reached.
