BREAKING: Oil rebounds to $100 as Gulf & European officials see US requiring 6 months for Iran deal

Gulf Arab and European leaders estimate that a US-Iran peace agreement could take around six months to finalize. They are urging both sides to extend the current ceasefire to allow more time for negotiations.

  • Gulf states still believe Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons capabilities, despite recent US-Israeli strikes.
  • According to regional officials, any deal should prevent Iran from enriching uranium and ban long-range ballistic missiles.
  • Gulf leaders are largely against a return to fighting and prefer a diplomatic solution led by the United States.
  • A major immediate demand is the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz to restore energy flows.
  • Officials privately warned that a global food crisis could emerge if the waterway remains closed beyond next month.
  • Energy prices may rise further if the conflict continues past the proposed negotiation timeline.

Oil is rebounding today and moving back toward $100 per barrel, indicating that stress in the energy market remains far from easing.
