The conflicting statements from Iran and the United States regarding a potential settlement create uncertainty in the oil markets, as the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz could impact global oil prices. The ongoing diplomatic dispute and accusations of changing positions could lead to continued volatility in energy markets and potentially affect defense sector investments.
Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Esmail Baghaei, dismissed reports of a finalized agreement with the United States as 'mere speculation', stating that Tehran has not made a final decision on any deal. Baghaei accused the United States of changing positions during negotiations and warned that the Strait of Hormuz has become less secure due to the United States' actions. In contrast, the United States President Donald Trump announced that a 'great settlement' was close to being finalized, which would prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and lead to the official reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Trump indicated the deal could be signed in Europe within days, with the United States Vice President JD Vance attending on his behalf. Qatar and Pakistan are acting as mediators in these discussions.
