Reported US eagerness to secure an Iran agreement may accelerate Strait of Hormuz reopening talks, analysts say.
An unnamed Israeli official told media President Trump is prioritizing a swift Iran deal, potentially at any cost. The remark suggests Washington is pushing for resolution, aligning with market expectations following recent diplomatic signals.
Oil prices have settled around 5% lower this week as talks between Iran and Oman raised hopes for reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Analysts, including Goldman Sachs, maintain Brent crude will hold within a $80 to $90 range unless escalation occurs.
The characterization of the administration as eager to close a deal could expedite remaining implementation details, though unverified commentary carries less weight than official statements.
