Odaily News: Trump stated that Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE, and several other countries requested that he delay a military strike against Iran by "two to three days," as they believe a US-Iran agreement is "very close to being reached." Speaking to reporters at a White House event, Trump said the US was prepared to launch a "very significant" attack on Iran on the 19th. "However, I postponed it for a short period of time, hoping it might be permanent, but it could also be temporary. Because we have been having very significant discussions with Iran, and we will wait to see the outcome of these discussions."

Trump noted that there have been some "very positive developments" in the negotiations and that the aforementioned Gulf allies have an opportunity to help finalize an agreement. He added that the current situation is "slightly different" from previous instances when the US believed a deal with Iran was imminent. (Xinhua News Agency)

Odaily Planet Daily News The head of commodity and derivatives research at Bank of America stated that his best-case scenario for oil prices is Brent crude averaging $90 per barrel for the remainder of this year. However, if the standoff with Iran continues or escalates due to new conflicts, markets could move significantly higher.

As a short-term resolution to the Strait of Hormuz crisis appears increasingly distant, a growing number of Wall Street strategists expect Brent crude to hover around $90 per barrel for the rest of the year. A few weeks ago, Goldman Sachs raised its year-end Brent crude oil price forecast to around $90 per barrel, while its WTI crude oil price forecast stands at $83. (Jin Shi)

Odaily reported that U.S. President Donald Trump stated that he had received requests from the Emir of Qatar, the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, and the President of the UAE to postpone the planned military strike against Iran originally scheduled for tomorrow, as serious negotiations are currently underway. They believe that an agreement can be reached, one that would be highly acceptable to the United States, countries in the Middle East, and the broader region. Key content of the agreement would include: Iran must not possess nuclear weapons! Out of respect for these leaders, I have instructed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Daniel Caine, and the U.S. military to call off the strike against Iran planned for tomorrow. However, I have also further instructed them to be prepared to immediately execute a large-scale, comprehensive military strike against Iran if an acceptable agreement is not reached. (Jin Shi)
