Pakistan says it’s prepared to host US-Iran talks after meeting with regional leaders.
15-point plan: President Donald Trump said Iran has agreed to “most of” the 15-point list of demands from the US to end the war. Last week, however, Tehran had not immediately accepted the plan and signaled skepticism of Washington’s position. Trump added he’s still considering whether to seize key fuel hub Kharg Island, and claimed there has been “regime change” in Iran.
• US troops: Iran’s parliament speaker accused the US of “secretly planning a ground invasion” while talking of negotiations. The USS Tripoli — carrying 3,500 US service members — has arrived in the Middle East.
• Wartime diplomacy: Pakistan said it is prepared to host talks between the US and Iran “in coming days,” after meeting with regional leaders in Islamabad.
• Energy costs: Oil prices climbed and Asian stocks fell after Tehran warned against a US ground invasion as more troops were deployed in the region.
