What will Vance's Iran talks mean for oil prices?

Slim deal odds keep prices volatile; failure likely pushes Brent to $100+, diesel +20-30% for U.S. trucking within weeks.

How could Iran disrupt global supply chains?

Via Hormuz harassment — mines, seizures — spiking tanker rates 2x, forcing Africa reroutes, delaying Asia imports 2 weeks.

Will these talks end U.S. sanctions on Iran trade?

Unlikely without full nuclear concessions; partial asset thaws possible, but broader export bans persist absent peace.
