Forecast Trend Report by Period
The US has rejected Iran’s latest peace proposal, a decision that signals renewed strains between Washington and Tehran ahead of a White House Situation Room meeting.
Walter Bloomberg reported on May 18 that the US decided not to accept Iran’s latest proposal for peace talks.
The move comes as President Donald Trump is scheduled to meet his national security team in the White House Situation Room on Tuesday to discuss military response options.
The US and Iran have continued negotiations over Tehran’s nuclear program, the Strait of Hormuz and sanctions relief. But they have failed to narrow differences on key issues.
Senior US officials had previously described Iran’s new proposal as “insufficient” and said it could raise the risk of renewed war.
Markets are focused on whether worsening US-Iran tensions and rising geopolitical risks in the Middle East will affect international oil prices and volatility in global financial markets.
