Trump Reverses Hormuz Ultimatum, Claims Productive Talks While Iran Denies Any Dialogue; US Military Strikes Continue on Non-Energy Targets

President Trump extended his 48-hour Hormuz ultimatum by five days, claiming 'productive conversations' with Iran and telling CNN there are '15 points of agreement.' AP reports Trump asserted envoy Steve Witkoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner held direct talks with an Iranian leader on Sunday, a claim Iran's parliament speaker dismissed as 'fakenews.' Tehran categorically denied any dialogue, but a senior Iranian FM official told CBS exclusively that 'we received points from the U.S. through mediators and they are being reviewed.' The strike pause covers only energy infrastructure; military sites, naval targets, ballistic missiles, and defense industrial base remain under active attack. CENTCOM reports 9,000+ targets struck and 9,000+ combat sorties since Feb 28. The ongoing conflict has now killed over 2,000 and disrupted one-fifth of global traded oil.
