Iran-U.S. peace negotiations enter critical phase as Trump signals willingness to wait. Iran's Foreign Ministry is reviewing the latest American proposal while Pakistan continues mediating talks between Tehran and Washington. The standoff carries significant market implications, with roughly twenty percent of global oil and liquefied natural gas normally flowing through the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz now virtually halted due to the conflict. Trump warned of renewed military action if negotiations fail within days, though he has previously delayed similar deadlines. Iran's Revolutionary Guard threatened to escalate beyond the region if strikes resume. Energy markets remain volatile amid uncertainty over resolution timeline and potential disruption to critical shipping routes.
