U.S. military preparing for potential operations against Iran if Trump orders attack: sources
Iran and the United States reached an understanding on Tuesday on main “guiding principles” in talks aimed at resolving their longstanding nuclear dispute, but that does not mean a deal is imminent, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragchi said.
Oil futures fell and the benchmark Brent crude contract tumbled more than one per cent after Aragchi’s comments, which helped ease fears of conflict in the region, where the U.S. has deployed a battle force to press Tehran for concessions.
“Different ideas have been presented, these ideas have been seriously discussed, ultimately we’ve been able to reach a general agreement on some guiding principles,” Aragchi told Iranian media after the talks concluded in Geneva.
