Iran: War will spread beyond Middle East if US attacks
Iran is reviewing a new U.S. proposal as Trump says a deal could come in days and warns renewed strikes could follow.
- On Wednesday, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps threatened to spread the war beyond the Middle East if the United States attacks again, following President Donald Trump's claim on Tuesday that he nearly restarted military operations.
- Six weeks since Trump paused Operation Epic Fury for a ceasefire, peace negotiations remain stalled as the U.S. and Iran continue to exchange threats while the military campaign remains suspended.
- Two giant Chinese tankers carrying around 4 million barrels of oil exited the Strait of Hormuz on Wednesday, while Lloyd's List reported at least 54 vessels transited last week, still a fraction of the 140 daily pre-war average.
- Benchmark Brent crude futures eased to near $108 a barrel on Wednesday as market uncertainty persisted; analyst Toshitaka Tazawa noted that fluctuating U.S. stances continue to drive global energy price volatility.
- Iran submitted rejected peace terms this week, including demands for control of the Strait of Hormuz, while retaining its stockpile of near-weapons-grade enriched uranium and the ability to threaten neighbors with missiles and drones.
