The AUD/USD pair tumbles to near 0.6980 during the early European session on Tuesday, pressured by escalating tensions in the Middle East. US President Donald Trump said on Monday that he will postpone his deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz by five days. He further stated that the US held ‘productive conversations’ with Tehran, but Iran denied it had any dialogue with Washington.
