The US says it's closing in on a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, even as President Trump says he would not rush into any agreement.
US officials say they and Iran are discussing precise language that would be in a draft deal. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is optimistic.
We've made some progress over the last 48 hours working with our partners in the Gulf region on an outline that could ultimately, if it succeeds, leave us not just with a completely open straits, and I mean open straits without tolls, and with addressing some of the key things that underpin what has been Iran's nuclear weapons ambitions in the past.
Rubio added he thought he may have more news on a deal later today, but warned reporters not to read too much into it. Despite the optimism from US sources, Iran's Tasnim news agency says a deal is far from reality. Bloomberg's Kevin Whitelaw says there's concern over how the US and Iran seem to be describing this deal differently.
What we're really talking about isn't a deal deal, it is a path to a deal. And so it would be some sort of an extended ceasefire or pause where the Strait of Hormuz would be opened up in some fashion. I think that's probably realistically the best thing that anyone can expect at this point with most of the actual negotiations over the highly enriched uranium, et cetera, to come later. But, you know, Iran has basically said they want sanctions relief. They want some of their assets unfrozen. And if Trump agrees to do some of that just to get this interim deal, he's really giving up a fair amount of his leverage.
Kevin Whitelaw there. Oil prices dropped from the news with Brent set for the lowest close in more than a month.
What recent developments are there in US-Iran negotiations?
The U.S. has paused a $14 billion arms sale to Taiwan. Here's Monica Ricks.
President Trump has indicated he'll speak directly to Taiwan's president after pausing a $14 billion arms sale a week after visiting China. It's a move that'll likely anger Beijing, but Ambassador Alexander Yu tells Bloomberg Taiwan's ready to defend itself.
We're trying to beef up our own defensive capabilities. And the United States has been our primary provider of arms sales to Taiwan. And we hope to continue to do so in facing this mounting and growing aggression from mainland China.
The U.S. says it pulled back on the arms package to make sure it had enough munitions for the war in Iran. Monica Ricks, Bloomberg Radio.
And Russia confirmed its military fired a hypersonic Arechnik missile towards Kiev. The Arechnik missile is capable of carrying a nuclear warhead. and is theoretically able to target most of Europe and the U.S. West Coast. The escalation was part of an attack involving approximately 90 missiles and 600 drones. Ukraine's Air Force said that most of the missiles and drones were shot down. That's news with You Want It. I'm James Woolcock, and this is Bluegrass.
