AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
Iran’s foreign ministry spokesperson, Esmaeil Baghaei, accused the United States of making “unreasonable” and one‑sided demands in the latest talks to end the two‑month war, saying Iran’s counter‑proposal – which calls for a cease‑fire, the lifting of the U.S. blockade and piracy, the release of Iranian assets frozen abroad, and safe navigation through the Strait of Hormuz – is generous and responsible. President Donald Trump dismissed Tehran’s response as “totally unacceptable” on his Truth Social platform, prompting analysts to warn that both sides are entrenched in maximalist positions, with the broader Middle‑East economy and populations bearing the cost. The standoff sent Brent crude up about 4.6 % to nearly $100 a barrel and WTI over $105, as markets feared further disruptions to oil supplies. European leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, are organising a coalition of more than 50 countries and a defence‑minister meeting to restore maritime traffic through the strait, while Baghaei warned that any further intervention could worsen prices and urged nations to act responsibly rather than follow U.S. and Israeli pressure.
