US Stock Market Today | Dow Jones | Nasdaq Live: US stocks slip at open as US-Iran impasse lifts oil price

Iran on Sunday released a response focused on ending the war on all fronts, including Lebanon, where U.S. ally Israel is fighting Iran-backed Hezbollah militants.

Tehran also demanded compensation for war damage, emphasised its sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz, and called on the United States to end its naval blockade, ‌guarantee no further attacks, lift sanctions ⁠and remove ⁠a ban on Iranian oil sales.

Within hours, Trump dismissed Tehran’s offer in a social media post.

“I don’t like it — TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, without giving further detail. The U.S. had proposed an end to fighting before starting talks on more ​contentious issues, including Iran’s nuclear programme.

Tehran responded on Monday by defending its stance.

“Our demand is legitimate: demanding an end to the war, lifting the (U.S.) blockade and piracy, and releasing Iranian assets that have been unjustly ​frozen in banks due to U.S. pressure,” Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said.
