Trump Delayed New Iran Strike Pending Hormuz Reopening Deal

Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia urged restraint through diplomatic channels, while Israel said it is awaiting the outcome of the latest negotiations. Ongoing tensions have kept Brent crude oil above USD 90/bbl, while OPEC+ agreed in principle to a symbolic production quota increase for Sep-26. (Bloomberg)
