But the Tasnim news agency, linked to Iran&#8217;s Revolutionary Guards, said the U.S. was still obstructing parts \u2060of a potential deal, including Tehran&#8217;s demand for the release of frozen funds.<\/div>\n<div>Oil prices fell 6% to two-week lows on Monday, as optimism grew that the United States and Iran were moving \u200bcloser to a peace deal.<\/div>\n<div>Trump raised expectations of an imminent deal on Saturday when he said Washington and Tehran had &#8220;largely negotiated&#8221; a memorandum of understanding on a peace agreement that would reopen the Strait \u200bof Hormuz.<\/div>\n<div>Before the conflict, the critical waterway had carried a fifth of global shipments of oil and liquefied natural gas.<\/div>\n<div>The two sides remain at odds on several difficult issues, such as Iran&#8217;s nuclear ambitions, Israel&#8217;s war in Lebanon with the Iranian-backed Hezbollah militia and Tehran&#8217;s demands for the lifting of sanctions and the release of tens of billions of dollars of Iranian oil revenues frozen in foreign banks.<\/div>\n<h2>STICKING POINTS<\/h2>\n<div>A senior Trump administration official outlined what he said \u200bwere the latest contours of issues being negotiated.<\/div>\n<div>Speaking on the condition of anonymity, the official said Iran had agreed &#8220;in principle&#8221; to open the Strait of Hormuz, in exchange for the United States \u200blifting its naval blockade, and to dispose of Tehran&#8217;s highly enriched uranium.<\/div>\n<div>The U.S. understood Iran&#8217;s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei had endorsed the broad template of the deal, he added.<\/div>\n<div>There was no immediate confirmation from Iran or \u200celaboration on \u2060what an &#8220;in principle&#8221; agreement meant.<\/div>\n<div>The U.S. official said Washington envisioned first re-opening the strait and lifting the U.S. naval blockade. Negotiating the details of the nuclear measures would take more time.<\/div>\n<div>The official pushed back on suggestions that Iran had not accepted disposing of its stockpiled enriched uranium. &#8220;It&#8217;s a question about how,&#8221; the official said.<\/div>\n<div>A second senior administration official said on Sunday the proposed framework would give negotiators 60 days to reach a final deal.<\/div>\n<div>Iranian sources had told Reuters that in future stages, &#8220;feasible formulas&#8221; could be found to resolve the dispute over its highly enriched uranium stockpile, including diluting the material under \u200bthe supervision of the U.N. nuclear watchdog.<\/div>\n<div>Iran has \u200blong denied U.S. and Israeli accusations that it \u2060is pursuing nuclear weapons and says it has a right to enrich uranium for civilian purposes, although the purity it has achieved far exceeds that needed for power generation.<\/div>\n<div>Trump, whose approval rating have been hit by the war&#8217;s impact on U.S. energy prices, and who has faced congressional efforts to curb \u200bhis war powers, has repeatedly played up the prospect of a deal to end the conflict started by the U.S. and Israel on February \u200b28.<\/div>\n<div>A tenuous ceasefire has held \u2060since early April.<\/div>\n<div>The president hit back at critics of his handling of the negotiations and his willingness to compromise with Iran.<\/div>\n<div>&#8220;If I make a deal with Iran, it will be a good and proper one &#8230; So don\u2019t listen to the losers, who are critical about something they know nothing about,&#8221; Trump posted on Sunday.<\/div>\n<div>Any deal reinforcing the current fragile ceasefire would bring relief to markets but not immediately defuse a \u2060global energy crisis, \u200bwhich has driven up costs of fuel, fertiliser and food.<\/div>\n<div>The U.S.-Israeli bombing of Iran killed thousands of people in \u200bIran before it was suspended in early April.<\/div>\n<div>Israel has also killed thousands more and driven hundreds of thousands from their homes in Lebanon, which it invaded in pursuit of militant group Hezbollah. Iranian strikes on Israel and neighbouring Gulf states have \u200bkilled dozens.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=158\">Huawei\u2019s \u2018chip queen\u2019 etches her name in China\u2019s tech folklore<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=156\">Morning Bid: Will they or won\u2019t they?<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=154\">Toshifumi Suzuki, father of Japan\u2019s convenience stores, dies at 93<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The United States will either have a good agreement with Iran or deal with the country &#8220;another way,&#8221;
