  "account": "DUBAI, Nov 2 - Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei confirmed on Monday that ongoing talks with the United States to end their eight-month war have continued, but produced no breakthrough. The Iranian sources believe a new US attack is more likely than a deal, while oil prices fell nearly 4% on Monday on hopes of a diplomatic solution. The Iranian plan to end the war, submitted in September, has been condensed and could be implemented within two days, according to Baghaei. The proposal, known as Iran's seven-steps proposal, calls for the US to end its blockade on Iranian ports, Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a US waiver on Iranian oil sales, cancellation of new sanctions on Iran, and talks on other issues. US President Donald Trump rejected the proposal in September, and Iran's stance is that a return to talks on the country's nuclear program could only happen after it verifies that all its conditions are met. The war, initiated by the US and Israel in February, has led to a blockade of Iranian ports, Iranian attacks on Gulf states, and renewed conflict in Yemen. Both China and Russia expressed concern over the possibility of renewed military action, especially with US midterm elections approaching. An LNG tanker was struck in the Gulf by unidentified objects on Friday, highlighting the risks to global energy supply.",
