Iran Deal Progress (with Francine Lacqua)

wti

The interviewee states that a deal could reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which is crucial for the global economy. This implies a potential easing of supply constraints and downward pressure on oil prices in the short term.

Francine Lacqua

The US and Iran have reached a tentative deal to extend their ceasefire by 60 days and begin talks on Iran's nuclear program. President Trump has yet to agree to the terms.
Stuart Livingstone Wallace

The consensus is that a deal is close, but we have been here before. It is a preliminary deal that starts a 60-day ceasefire clock, allowing them to tackle serious issues like reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
Francine Lacqua

Have we seen progress on the key sticking points?
Stuart Livingstone Wallace

The short answer is no. The stickiest point is the nuclear file, including enriched uranium stockpiles and ambitions for a nuclear weapon. Other issues include the proxy network (Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthis) and the missile program.
