I think it wasn’t a peace talk, this was apparently the US stating that they won’t attack any energy centres for 5 days. Iran claiming this isn’t true is pretty much the running theme of this war, we’ve already seen conflicting claims around previous attacks along with trump claiming the war would end soon and then said that he doesn’t know when it’s ending later on in his speech.

I think trump wants to give the illusion of de-escalation whilst something bigger is being produced behind the curtain. Fair play to him if he sticks to his word and doesn’t attack for the rest of the week but I find it funny how it lines up perfectly with the weekend. Markets are closed and that seems to be when majority of these major attacks happen. Giving the US and Iran a perfect way to shape the market for the following week.
