President Donald Trump announced on June 13, 2026 that the US and Iran have reached a "great settlement," with both sides finalising documents. A confirmed deal could trigger oil price moves and reshape Middle East security arrangements, though Iran has not yet publicly confirmed the agreement.
Negotiations toward a deal to end the conflict involving Iran are underway, but the terms, finalization date, and implementation timeline remain unconfirmed. The uncertainty keeps markets, oil traders, and regional governments in a holding pattern until specific details are locked in.
Donald Trump arrives in Beijing seeking trade concessions and China's help on Iran, but analysts say the political and economic costs of the Iran conflict have weakened Washington's leverage ahead of talks with Xi Jinping.
China has enforced its Blocking Rules against US sanctions for the first time, shifting a largely dormant legal tool into active use. Multinationals now face competing legal obligations in both markets, raising compliance costs and forcing difficult choices about where to operate.
Iran has not formally responded to the latest US ceasefire proposal, with officials on both sides indicating a large gap remains between their positions. The stalled talks keep uncertainty high over sanctions, oil supply, and regional stability.
Brent crude fell as much as 12% to $96.75 a barrel and WTI dropped up to 13% after Iran indicated it was weighing a new US proposal to end the war. The prospect of a diplomatic deal raised expectations that Iranian oil exports, currently curtailed by sanctions, could return to global supply.

He expressed doubt the offer will be acceptable, leaving U.S. policy toward Iran in an unsettled position with no formal response yet.
Iran has submitted a formal 14-point written response to a U.S. proposal to end the war, according to Iranian state media. The structured reply signals active diplomatic engagement, with significant potential consequences for regional security, oil markets, and U.S.-Iran sanctions.
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.
Iran's deputy foreign minister said Saturday no date has been set for the next round of Iran-U.S. talks, conditioning further sessions on agreement of a preliminary framework. The announcement signals the negotiation timeline is more uncertain than recent diplomatic momentum implied, with consequences for sanctions
The US has seized an Iranian-flagged cargo ship, with President Trump confirming the interception as a second round of US-Iran talks approaches.
