In a CNBC interview on Monday, US President Trump said he 'doesn't care' whether
talks with Iran end and that he 'really doesn't care' about reports Tehran
stopped contact after Israeli military action in Lebanon. He said he will ask
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu about the situation in Lebanon and that he is
not worried about oil prices, saying they will 'drop like a stone' in the near
term. Earlier, Iranian state media reported Tehran would halt negotiations and
vowed to 'completely block' the Strait of Hormuz; that report had pushed oil
sharply higher.
