「Deep suspicion」of US lingers as Iran ponders agreement to end war

Iranian officials stated that the latest US strikes have only reinforced their deep suspicion and strengthened their resolve to stand firm on their demands.

While discussions between US and Iran continue, there are conflicting claims about the progress of a potential peace deal. Iran has denied agreeing to give up enriched uranium in any ceasefire agreement, asserting that it has not yet accepted any action on nuclear matters.
Market reactions reflect uncertainty
Doubts about the fragile and muddled ceasefire deal have pushed oil prices upward and led to modest losses on Wall Street, indicating investor skepticism over the stability of any agreement.
