Despite Tehran’s announcement that it has not yet chosen whether to participate in peace negotiations, oil prices dipped on Tuesday as stocks increased due to lingering hopes for a deal to end the US-Iran war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
The White House announced that Vice President JD Vance was prepared to return to Pakistan for further talks to end a conflict that has sent crude prices skyrocketing and rekindled concerns about inflation as the two-week ceasefire draws to a close. The Islamic republic’s stance was still unclear, though, as it claimed that Washington had broken their precarious truce by seizing a ship and blocking its ports.
Following Tehran’s announcement that it will permit ships to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, which has been essentially closed since the start of the conflict on February 28, crude fell on Friday.
However, the commodities increased on Monday after Iran shut off the waterway once more, claiming the seizure and blockade.

In a similar vein, Donald Trump has charged Tehran with breaching the ceasefire by intimidating ships in the Strait of Hormuz, which serves as a transit route for roughly one-fifth of the world’s oil.
