Oil slips again as US, Iran sign peace deal
"Oil prices fell in early trading on Thursday after the U.S. and Iran signed an interim agreement that would end the Iran war, reopen the Strait of Hormuz and waive U.S. sanctions on Tehran's oil, resolving the largest energy supply disruption in history.
Brent crude futures were down 89 cents, or 1.12%, at $78.66 a barrel as of 0005 GMT, and U.S. West Texas Intermediate fell 98 cents, or 1.28%, to $75.81 a barrel."

🔘Does the agreement resolve or merely pause the two core long-term risks: the nuclear issue and the Hormuz dilemma?
🔘What does the successful transit of the Disha LNG carrier with AIS on signify, and what risks still remain?
🔘Could fake attack reports or rogue incidents become a new source of market volatility even under the cease-fire?
🔘Are oil executives genuinely warning about low inventories, or are their statements primarily “talking their books” ahead of higher prices and strong profits?
🔘Why has Iraq requested a one-year extension of the Kirkuk-Ceyhan pipeline deal, and what does this reveal about the difficulty of reaching a permanent agreement?
🔘How is ADNOC shifting security and insurance risks to buyers in the current environment?
🔘Could converting weapons-grade plutonium meaningfully alleviate near-term US nuclear fuel shortages, or is it primarily a waste-management solution?
🔘Can vessels with scrubbers or alternative fuel capability mitigate the impact of VLSFO/HSFO shortages?

🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷 The “Achilles’ heel” of the negotiations may be sanctions relief.
Dr. Annelle Rodriguez says the recent conflict was disastrous, but major Israeli officials and the Israel lobby still strongly oppose giving Iran access to any resources, even funds that technically belong to Iran.
Her concern is that Trump could buckle under domestic pressure and refuse to release them.
Iran still has leverage through the Strait of Hormuz, but regional players are already looking for ways around it, including pipelines that bypass the Persian Gulf.
