The Strait of Hormuz remains closed, and the economic shock facing the world has not abated, but financial markets have bounced on even the possibility this war might end.
Diplomacy in the era of the Cold War was described as a wilderness of mirrors, in the age of Trump it is a carnival of contradictory press conferences, posing more questions than it answers, with the whole world hanging on the uncertain words of the erratic and unpredictable man in the White House.
According to Donald Trump, after postponing his threat to attack power plants, Iran is ready to make a deal, declaring "we've eliminated everything there is to eliminate".
Meanwhile Iran has denied that any talks have taken place and insisted they still have full control over the Strait of Hormuz. While reports in Israeli media claim that mediating countries are trying to arrange a summit between the US and Iran in the coming days.
