Trump said in the Oval Office on Thursday that a deal to end the war is close, without giving details. Trump hours earlier threatened to launch major strikes on Iran and to seize control of its oil and gas industries as escalating attacks between the countries pushed the Middle East closer to full-scale war. The threats came after the U.S and Iran traded strikes for a second straight day. Trump has claimed multiple times the U.S. and Iran are on the verge of a peace deal without anything coming to fruition.
Main Idea: Pakistan’s prime minister said the U.S. and Iran have agreed on the wording of a deal to end their war, and that mediators are now trying to finish the agreement.
Key Points:
A stalled deal or new fighting could keep oil prices high and raise costs for fuel, food, and shipping for US households and small businesses.
A real ceasefire could reduce energy shocks and lower the risk of higher prices for consumers and workers.
