US-Iran talks continue as oil prices fall; UAE flights disrupted

The US-Iran war remains caught between diplomacy and confrontation, with President Donald Trump denying any concessions to Tehran even as mediators push to end seven months of fighting and oil prices fall on signs of recovering exports. Trump rejected reports of offering sanctions relief or frozen funds, saying "I offered them NOTHING," while Iran awaits a US response to its seven-day plan for reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Both sides continue talks through mediators, with significant differences remaining over Iran's nuclear program and regional security. Saudi Arabia and the US discussed maritime security and Yemen, while Washington pressed Lebanon on Iranian financing. Iraqi Airways prepares to resume Iran flights, and UAE travelers face ongoing flight disruptions, with Air Canada suspending Dubai services until March 2027.
