Iran has just denied all direct or indirect talks with the U.S.

by

Iran publicly denying any direct or indirect talks while simultaneously setting conditions for how and when conflict would end shows a posture that keeps leverage on the table without conceding diplomatic ground. The reporting tied to Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps aligned media and Fars News Agency reflects an official narrative that rejects ceasefire proposals and frames any resolution as dependent on Iran achieving its own strategic objectives first. That combination signals not just refusal of current terms but an attempt to control the narrative around whether negotiations exist at all, which makes outside observers rely on conflicting signals instead of clear confirmations.

Iran to Trump: “Don’t call your failure an agreement”

The net effect of this war is to hand control of OPEC from Saudi Arabia to Iran.

From this point forward Iran will control the global price of oil. They will use Hormuz to determine output quota.

Which means that oil will stay high indefinitely. And will only come down the hard way.
