NEWS: A deal with Iran keeps slipping out of reach.

  • A day after Iran’s military shut the Strait of Hormuz again, President Trump said the US had seized an Iranian-flagged cargo ship. US officials claim talks with Iran are still scheduled for today in Pakistan…but it’s unclear if the Iranian side will show up.

  • The deal: A 3-page MOU under discussion would unfreeze $20B in Iranian funds in exchange for Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile. But plenty of specific details (like the length of the possible moratorium) have yet to be ironed out.

  • Meanwhile, gas prices aren’t likely to dip under $3 per gallon until next year, Energy Sec. Wright claimed. As they say, “oil prices rise like a rocket and fall like a feather."
