    ❗️Oil prices fall back after Iran signals openness to negotiations

    Oil prices reversed early gains on 20 July after Iran’s Foreign Ministry said negotiations with the US could be pursued based on national interests.

    Brent crude fell to $87.94 a barrel after earlier hitting $91.42, its highest in over a month, while US West Texas Intermediate dropped to $81.81.

    Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei said intermediaries had shared messages with Tehran over recent days, without specifying what the proposals entailed.

      What a fucking way to twist his words.

      “diplomacy and defense serve the same national interests.” “Insisting on the binary choice of negotiations or war is not useful for Iran. Diplomacy does not negate defense, and defense is not incompatible with diplomacy,”

      He is saying that they are willing to talk but they are going to keep hitting usa because that is how they defend themselves.
