Trump claims Iran has 'no cards' as peace talks near in Pakistan

US President Donald Trump says Iran lacks leverage in negotiations, accusing Tehran of relying on 'temporary pressure tactics' rather than military strength. 'The only reason they are alive today is to negotiate,' Trump wrote on Truth Social. His comments come amid tensions surrounding the Strait of Hormuz - through which 20% of the world's crude oil passes - as US-Iran peace talks scheduled for Saturday in Pakistan approach. Despite a two-week truce, Iranian threats continue to limit shipping activities in the strategic waterway. Nigeria's oil-dependent economy could be affected by any disruption to global oil supplies. With talks happening tomorrow, how might this impact global oil prices and Nigeria's export revenue?
