US President Donald Trump has said that Iran has accepted nearly all of the conditions put forward by Washington. According to Economic Times, Trump suggested that the parties had largely reached agreement on the points they needed.
The remarks are being read as a sign that diplomatic channels between the US and Iran are functioning again after recent tensions. There was, however, no immediate official statement from Iran confirming the account.
Analysts stress that such comments can be part of a bargaining process and that much depends on the details of any final agreement. Energy markets are watching developments involving Iran closely because of their potential impact on oil supply. How the process advances is expected to become clearer in the days ahead.
