It looks like both side are working on a deal, USA and Iran. USA said Iran is talking, Iran denied it yesterday, but today, the market is on the positive side signifying a deal may be on the way. Here is what we know.
According to WSJ :
Mediators from Turkey, Egypt and Pakistan are pushing for a meeting between U.S. and Iranian officials, but Tehran has displayed defiance over the possibility of diplomacy and both sides remain far apart.
The U.S. sent Iran a 15-point plan to end the war, which centers largely around previous Trump administration demands of Tehran. Iran’s military spokesman suggested the U.S. was negotiating with itself to get out of a “strategic defeat.”
Gulf Arab states are growing alarmed by Trump’s eagerness to do a deal. The leaders of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are lobbying Trump to stick with the war until Iran is sufficiently weakened that it won’t pose a threat.
Separately, authorities suspect Iran recruited individuals online for terror attacks in Europe, and set up a bogus terror group to claim responsibility for attacks on Jewish schools, synagogues and companies linked to Israel.
Oil prices fell, with Brent crude, the global benchmark, dipping to roughly $95 a barrel.
Iraq said it planned to lodge a protest with the U.S. after a strike on a military clinic that Baghdad said killed seven soldiers. The U.S. military said the incident was being looked into.
Israel said it completed waves of airstrikes targeting regime-linked infrastructure in Tehran. An Iranian missile landed near Israel’s largest power station.
Gulf countries said they were targeted by drone and missile attacks, including a strike on Kuwait’s international airport.
The Senate rejected a third attempt this month to limit Trump’s military campaign in Iran.
