Iran has said it will reciprocate if the US honours its commitments under a June interim deal. This comes after US President Donald Trump threatened Tehran with further strikes. Tensions between the two countries remain high.
Oil prices rose following reports of two tankers being attacked as they left the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial waterway for global oil supply that Iran has effectively closed to shipping. According to Al-Monitor, this was the first exchange of direct attacks since late July.
A White House official reportedly said that Iran wants to strike a deal, but "they are always a day late and a dollar short", as per Hindustan Times - World News.
