Iran Says Trump's Claim of Talks is 'Fake News' | The Pulse 3/24/2026

Iran says there have been no negotiations on ending the war, dismissing President Trump's claim of 'productive conversations' as 'fake news'. Brent crude traded above $100 a barrel again, after falling sharply on Monday. The US President said he was extending a deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz by 5 days, to allow time for talks.

Today's guests: Christian Mueller-Glissmann, Goldman Sachs, Head of Asset Allocation Research; Pietro Labriola, Telecom Italia CEO; Nathalie Tocci, Johns Hopkins University Professor; Brett Bruen, Global Situation Room President; Antony Jenkins, 10x Banking Founder & former Barclays CEO.
