US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, visiting New Delhi, said "good news" on Iran could come within hours and called India a "strategic ally." The remarks signal active US-Iran diplomacy and a push to deepen India-US ties, with potential consequences for oil markets and Indian energy policy.
Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth have warned the U.S. may resume strikes on Iran as nuclear talks remain deadlocked. Iran's Strait of Hormuz blockade is already pushing up global energy costs, with risks growing for oil markets and importing economies.
Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said the US dismissed Iran's latest response in nuclear talks and accused Washington of making unreasonable demands. A public breakdown in positions raises risks for oil markets and complicates any near-term diplomatic agreement.
Trump called Iran's response to US nuclear proposals "unacceptable," while Iran's military said it is ready if war with the US and Israel resumes. The exchange signals a sharp breakdown in diplomacy, keeping oil markets on edge and raising the risk of renewed regional conflict.
QatarEnergy's tanker Al Kharaitiyat crossed the Strait of Hormuz safely and was heading to Pakistan, per shipping firm Kpler. The transit is being watched closely as the U.S. awaits Iran's response to a nuclear peace proposal that could affect Gulf shipping risk.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Friday the U.S. expects Iran to respond that day to a U.S. proposal aimed at ending the conflict. The tight deadline signals nuclear diplomacy has reached a critical decision point, with Tehran's answer likely to shape next steps.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian confirmed he has met with Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei. Direct contact between the two top figures signals high-level coordination at a time of active nuclear diplomacy and ongoing sanctions pressure on Iran.
Iran is reviewing a US nuclear proposal delivered via Pakistan, as Trump says talks are progressing. A deal could unlock Iranian oil exports and push global crude prices lower, while Israeli strikes on Beirut add regional pressure to the negotiations.
Iran is making war preparations as tensions with the US escalate over the Strait of Hormuz, with Iranian state media claiming a US warship was struck, a claim Washington denies. The standoff threatens one of the world's most critical oil transit routes, with potential to spike global crude prices.
Iran delivered a new peace proposal to Washington via Pakistan, but President Trump said Friday he was unsatisfied and gave no sign a deal was close. Trump simultaneously told Congress the ceasefire had "terminated" hostilities, using it to sidestep the 60-day War Powers Resolution deadline that expired Friday.
President Trump told Reuters that Iran intends to make an offer aimed at satisfying U.S. demands. Talks are expected to resume in Pakistan, marking a continued diplomatic push over Iran's nuclear program. The content and timing of Iran's offer have not been disclosed.
Crude oil hit nearly $115 per barrel, the highest since June 2022, as Iran conflict tensions rise and talks stay stalled. Analysts warn prices could reach $150 if the Strait of Hormuz faces disruption. The move raises fuel and inflation risks for import-dependent economies.
Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff are traveling to Pakistan to meet with Iran's foreign minister, who has arrived carrying a written Iranian response to a U.S. nuclear proposal. The exchange signals the talks have moved into a more formal stage. No deal has been announced yet.
The US cancelled a diplomatic trip to Iran after President Trump said Tehran's offer was unsatisfactory. Iran rejected talks it called negotiations held under siege. The breakdown removes the nearest opportunity for direct contact between the two sides.
Trump declared the US will not permit Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon, speaking at a state dinner alongside King Charles III. The comments come as US-Iran nuclear talks have stalled despite a new proposal from Tehran. No breakthrough has been reported and gaps over enrichment and sanctions persist.
U.S. crude oil broke above $100 a barrel after the UAE said it would exit OPEC and Iran nuclear talks hit a wall. Both moves point to tighter global oil supply, pushing energy prices higher. The $100 threshold directly affects fuel costs and inflation.
Iran's top negotiator reported progress but acknowledged remaining gaps in nuclear talks with the U.S., while President Trump cited positive conversations yet warned Tehran against blackmail over the Strait of Hormuz. The competing signals keep energy market risk premiums elevated given the Strait's role in routing
Iran's chief nuclear negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf warned that a US naval blockade of Iranian ports would be a miscalculation, reasserting Tehran's control over the Strait of Hormuz. The statement raises the stakes in ongoing US-Iran nuclear talks and flags direct risk to global oil supply routes. Trump
Pakistani civilian and military leaders are conducting shuttle diplomacy between key capitals to facilitate an Iran-US nuclear compromise. Trump has publicly stated a deal is close and suggested he may travel to Islamabad to sign it, which would significantly raise Pakistan's geopolitical profile. The outcome hinges on
