US-Iran De-escalation: Trump Signals Reduced Strike Threat, Oil Prices Drop

US President Trump has signaled a significant de-escalation in tensions with Iran, stating that new military attacks are 'quite unlikely' and the 'war is effectively over' militarily, though a sea blockade remains. This shift in rhetoric, potentially influenced by domestic political pressures and Qatari mediation efforts, has led to a notable drop in global oil prices and a recovery in stock markets. However, Iran's denial of planned talks and Trump's continued 'ready if needed' stance introduce uncertainty regarding the long-term diplomatic path and the potential for renewed conflict.
