Speaking from the White House and via social media, Trump asserted that &quot;The Deal&quot; is scheduled to be signed immediately, which would result in the <strong>Strait of Hormuz<\/strong> being &quot;OPEN TO ALL&quot; commercial traffic. Despite the President&#39;s optimism, officials in <strong>Tehran<\/strong> have maintained a more cautious stance, acknowledging that while a draft framework exists, they have not yet reached a &quot;final conclusion.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>The divergence in messaging comes at a critical juncture for global markets. <strong>Oil prices<\/strong> plummeted late last week as traders priced in the potential return of Iranian crude and the removal of the &quot;security premium&quot; associated with the closure of the world\u2019s most vital oil chokepoint. <strong>Brent Crude<\/strong> (<a href=\"\/stock\/BRN\">BRN<\/a>) hit its lowest settlement value since early March, falling toward <strong>$85 per barrel<\/strong>, while <strong>WTI<\/strong> (<a href=\"\/stock\/CL.1\">CL.1<\/a>) saw similar declines. Analysts at <strong>Deutsche Bank<\/strong> noted that the prospect of a deal triggered a &quot;huge rally across bonds and equities&quot; as investors weighed the possibility of easing inflationary pressures.<\/p>\n<p>The emerging agreement, reportedly mediated by <strong>Pakistan<\/strong> and <strong>Qatar<\/strong>, is structured as a two-stage memorandum of understanding (MoU). The first phase focuses on immediate de-escalation: a <strong>60-day extension<\/strong> of the current ceasefire, the lifting of the U.S. naval blockade on Iranian ports, and the resumption of shipping through the <strong>Strait of Hormuz<\/strong>. In exchange, the U.S. would reportedly waive certain oil sanctions, allowing Tehran to access frozen revenue to stabilize its domestic economy.<\/p>\n<p>However, significant hurdles remain regarding the second phase, which addresses Iran&#39;s <strong>nuclear program<\/strong>. While Trump claimed the deal would ensure Iran &quot;no longer want a Nuclear Weapon,&quot; internal reports suggest the current draft only provides a framework for future talks on the removal of Iran&#39;s <strong>60% enriched <a href=\"https:\/\/stockmarketwatch.com\/metal\/uranium\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"13\" title=\"Uranium\">uranium<\/a> stockpile<\/strong>. <strong>Israel<\/strong>, which has been largely sidelined in the Pakistani-led negotiations, continues to express skepticism. Prime Minister <strong>Benjamin Netanyahu<\/strong> has insisted on the total dismantlement of Iran&#39;s enrichment infrastructure, a demand that has yet to be formally codified in the pending MoU.<\/p>\n<p>The stability of the deal was further tested on Sunday following <strong>Israeli airstrikes<\/strong> on Hezbollah targets in <strong>Beirut<\/strong>. The strikes, which Israel described as a response to projectile fire, drew a sharp rebuke from Trump, who characterized the cross-border skirmishes as &quot;meaningless&quot; compared to the broader peace process. As Qatari negotiators fly to Tehran for last-minute consultations, the financial world remains on edge, watching to see if the &quot;imminent&quot; signing will materialize or if the regional &quot;red lines&quot; will once again stall a final settlement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key Takeaways President Trump announced a peace deal with Iran is scheduled for signing as early as Sunday, June 14, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":50383,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"rank_math_schema_Article":[],"rank_math_focus_keyword":[],"rank_math_description":[],"financial_data_references":[],"stock_symbols_mentioned":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[5012],"tags":[970,4335,4457,4462,4487,4664,4824,18233,19189],"class_list":["post-63156","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-breaking-news","tag-wti","tag-donald-trump","tag-oil-prices","tag-brent-crude","tag-strait-of-hormuz","tag-iran","tag-geopolitics","tag-cl1","tag-brn"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www2.stockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63156","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www2.stockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www2.stockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www2.stockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www2.stockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=63156"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www2.stockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63156\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www2.stockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/50383"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www2.stockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=63156"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www2.stockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=63156"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www2.stockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=63156"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
