Oil prices dropped after a report claimed the US and Iran reached a deal on a ceasefire extension, pending President Trump's approval.

Global oil prices declined following a report that the United States and Iran have reached a tentative agreement to extend a ceasefire and begin nuclear discussions [1, 3]. The reported breakthrough, which requires final approval from President Donald Trump, briefly drove the price of Brent crude down to $93.36 per barrel before a slight rebound [1, 3].

**Key takeaways**
*   Brent crude fell to a low of $93.36 following a report of a US-Iran agreement [1, 3].
*   The reported deal includes a 60-day ceasefire extension and the start of talks on Tehran's nuclear program [1, 3].
*   A three-month-long war has effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz, a route for about 20% of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas supplies [1, 3].
*   Earlier in the week, prices slumped after Trump said he delayed a planned military strike at the request of Gulf leaders [2].

## Ceasefire negotiations and military strikes

According to US media outlet Axios, officials from the US and Iran agreed to a 60-day ceasefire extension and the start of negotiations regarding Iran's nuclear program [1, 3]. The report stated that President Trump has requested a few days to review the agreement before granting final approval [1, 3]. This development comes despite ongoing military hostilities; the US recently carried out attacks on a military site in Bandar Abbas, a strategic port city, marking the second time in three days that US forces have targeted Iranian locations [1
