Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson, Esmaeil Baqaei, stated on Friday that the country will not transfer its enriched uranium stockpile, directly contradicting former President Donald Trump's claims that an agreement had been reached. Trump suggested that Iran had consented to suspend its nuclear program indefinitely and indicated that a deal to end the ongoing conflict involving the US and Israel could be finalized soon. As a result of these developments, oil prices fell significantly, with Brent crude dropping over 10% to below $89 per barrel. Trump mentioned that discussions for a lasting agreement might take place over the weekend but has yet to confirm the members of the US delegation for these talks. The situation remains fluid as both sides prepare for potential negotiations.
