Iran has told mediators from Qatar and Oman that it won’t engage in negotiations while it is under attack, according to an official familiar with the talks.

• This stance applies to both ceasefire discussions with Israel and efforts to restart nuclear deal talks with the United States.

• The official said Iran made it clear that it will only consider serious negotiations after it has completed its response to Israel’s recent pre-emptive strikes.

From a market perspective, futures trade for the week will begin at 1800 US Eastern time (2300 GMT).
