What happened

Well supportedReported by 10 independent outlets

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated that while Tehran would never surrender to the US, it remained open to dialogue and diplomacy regarding the Middle East conflict, provided conditions for negotiations were met. At the UN General Assembly, Pezeshkian defended Iran's military actions, stating that the country has always defended itself without attacking any country or territory. Separately, a senior Iranian official indicated that the Strait of Hormuz could reopen within seven days if the US eased military pressure and lifted the blockade on Iranian ports.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

Uncertainty over a diplomatic resolution to the Middle East conflict caused UK natural gas prices to rise to 186 pence per therm. The key waterway remains largely closed, which impedes LNG flows from the Persian Gulf, leading Goldman Sachs to expect sharp rises in European and Asian gas prices if Gulf LNG exports remain constrained.
