Trump declares halt to strikes on Iran, dollar value falls

President Donald Trump said the United States had halted its strikes against Iran, immediately affecting diplomacy and financial markets. Trump said he believed Iran’s supreme leader had approved the agreement with the United States.

Trump also claimed that the contents of the publicly disclosed agreement differed from the facts. He directly said that the leaked contents of the agreement were not true.

Araghchi, Iran’s representative, said Iran would not agree to resume nuclear negotiations if the interim agreement was not actually implemented. Araghchi said that talks could resume on the condition that the agreement was implemented.

2015The key provisions of the nuclear agreement concluded years ago were scrapped during the Trump administration. This fact remains part of the background to the current discussions.

At the major 7power summit, issues involving Iran and Ukraine were treated as major agenda items, and France partly accepted Trump's position. No specific agreement among the leaders has yet been announced.

The value of the dollar fell immediately after Trump announced a halt to the airstrikes. Financial markets saw fluctuations in short-term exchange rates and demand for safe-haven assets that day.

Trump's remarks and Iran's statement of its position came on 6 month 11~12 days. The statements by both sides were confirmed in the form of diplomatic schedules and an open letter.
