Mediators push peace deal between US and Iran — FT
Mediators are making a renewed push to advance an agreement between the United States (US) and Iran, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday. This move came after US President Donald Trump said he had rejected an Iranian proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and restart talks on ending the war.
Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesperson Majed al-Ansari announced ongoing efforts to mediate a peace deal between the United States and Iran. The US rejected an Iranian proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and restart negotiations to end the war. Mediators aim to establish common ground for an interim agreement that could prevent conflict repercussions.
The proposed deal allows Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz and the US to lift its blockade on Iranian ports. Iran recently deployed a tank, drones, and security vehicles to Iranshahr amid clashes with unidentified gunmen. WTI Oil, a benchmark for the Oil market, is trading at $88.40, up 0.38% on the day.
