I'm Ed Donahue with an AP News Minute. Efforts to reach an agreement to end the war in Iran

The AP's John Gambral reports Iran has denied there are talks.

minister Abbas Arachi, calling a series of countries around the region. And officials that have

spoken to the Associated Press describe Pakistan, Egypt, and Turkey really leading the charge

in trying to get some forward momentum on what Trump said.

President Trump extended his deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

Air strikes battered Iran and Iranian missiles and drones targeted Israel's Tel Aviv.

At least three people were injured in an Iranian missile attack on Southern Israel.

The price of oil has moved higher. Some of the optimism that sent stocks rallying the day before

and drained out on Wall Street. More information at APnews.com. I'm Ed Donahue.
