U.S., Iran hold separate mediator talks as Mideast oil exports hit war-time high
Iranian and U.S. officials reportedly met separately with mediators Monday to push for a ceasefire, as Middle Eastern crude exports rebounded to war-time high.
Iranian and US officials met separately with mediators on Monday to push for a ceasefire. According to CNBC, these talks took place as Middle Eastern crude exports rebounded to a war-time high.
Middle Eastern crude exports reached 16.328 million barrels per day in September, the highest since the US-Israeli war on Iran started in late February, as reported by Free Malaysia Today, citing data from Kpler. This rebound followed a recovery in exports via the Strait of Hormuz and Saudi Arabia's diversion of oil exports from the Red Sea port after attacks damaged its East-West pipeline.
Iran's supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, vowed that the US would be driven out of the region after suffering "painful blows", according to Dawn. Khamenei made these remarks despite attempts to revive talks aimed at ending the fighting.
