The known details as of press time include postponing nuclear negotiations to a later stage. US President Donald Trump is expected to hold a meeting with his top national security and foreign policy team on Monday to discuss how to move forward.
Previously, he canceled the trip of the US delegation, led by Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, to Pakistan shortly after the Iranian counterparties left the country without opening any talks.

The lion’s share came in the past 6 hours or so when the fluctuations transpired.
