  "summary": "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.\n\nThe rebound in exports was driven by a recovery in shipments via the Strait of Hormuz and Saudi Arabia's diversion of oil exports from the Red Sea port of Yanbu, following attacks that damaged its East-West pipeline. Data from Kpler showed that crude oil exports from key Middle East producers reached 16.328 million barrels per day in September, the highest since the US-Israeli war on Iran started in late February.\n\nIran's supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, vowed that the US would be driven out of the region after suffering \"painful blows\". He made these remarks despite attempts to revive talks aimed at ending the fighting, according to Dawn.",
