Tehran rejects U.S. revisions to a draft agreement, insisting on economic concessions before agreeing to a ceasefire.
Iran has rejected U.S. revisions to a proposed ceasefire deal, stating negotiations cannot progress without sanctions relief and access to frozen assets. The demand underscores Tehran’s insistence on economic guarantees as a precondition for any agreement.
Prior negotiations have stalled over similar conditions, with Iran previously linking progress to the release of billions in frozen funds. The U.S. has not publicly responded to the latest demand, leaving the status of talks uncertain.
Markets remain sensitive to geopolitical developments in the region, particularly those affecting oil supply and regional stability.
