🇺🇸🇮🇷 US-IRAN NEGOTIATIONS LATEST

🔸President Trump said Monday his team spoke with mediators working to end the war with Iran, but offered no details. "We're going to win. As far as I'm concerned, it's going to be one way or the other. It's going to go pretty quickly," he told reporters in the Oval Office, adding that more strikes before the midterms were also "possible."

🔸 Hours later, Trump denied an Axios report, citing a US official, that he was willing to offer Iran sanctions relief and frozen funds for "concrete progress on nuclear." "I offered them NOTHING!" he wrote, calling the story a "HOAX."

🔸 Despite his public rejection of Iran's seven-day plan, the US has not formally rejected it, three officials told the AP. Mediators are drafting a deal to reopen Hormuz, lift the US blockade, and then remove sanctions. One official told the AP the US is seeking nuclear concessions, including access for inspectors, which Axios has also reported.

🔸 Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi met a Qatari mediator in New York on Monday. "They had some ideas, and we held discussions that they will also raise with the US side," he told state news agency IRNA, adding he hoped for Washington's final response by Tuesday. He flew back to Tehran rather than wait: "The Qataris know how to reach us whenever they have the response."

Bolsonaro has received support from the U.S. president who welcomed him in the Oval Office only days after receiving Lula. He has been courting a Trump endorsement.

💢 Israeli attacks killed a pregnant woman and at least one other Palestinian, and wounded others, including children, across Gaza from Monday into early Tuesday, as attacks continued despite the ceasefire.

➤ An Israeli drone struck near the desalination room at Al-Sawarha School, west of Camp 2 and south of Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, wounding several people, according to Shehab.

➤ At around 3:30 a.m. Tuesday, an Israeli strike hit a residential apartment in Gaza City's Al-Nasr neighborhood and set it on fire. Palestinian journalists reported that at least one person was killed, with remains recovered in pieces. Others were wounded, including children taken to al-Shifa Medical Complex.

Gaza's Health Ministry said Monday morning that Israeli attacks had killed 1,421 Palestinians and wounded 4,983 since the ceasefire began. It said 74,022 had been killed and 175,980 wounded since October 2023. Those figures don't include the deaths later Monday or overnight.

@yarbatman
Someone sent me this analysis and asked me what I think…

Yes, there is more oil flowing through the strait—with the exception of Iranian oil. But people misunderstand the issue of control of the Strait of Hormuz and overstate its importance in the positioning of Iran, the Gulf, and the U.S. as the war drags on. Specifically, this analysis on oil export volumes and its impact on negotiation positions overlooks two more important factors.

First, Iran may not be able to disrupt energy flows as effectively as in the early stage of the war, but it retains undiminished capabilities to destroy stocks, by which I mean the underlying production infrastructure, whether upstream or downstream.

Second, the assessment fails to consider that Iran can still choose to escalate by hitting these production targets if it determines that Trump isn’t feeling enough pain to take the diplomatic off-ramps being put in front of him. Importantly, we know what happens when Iran is exporting no oil and there is no realistic pathway for diplomacy—we saw it in the Abqaiq and Khurrais attacks on Aramco facilities in 2019.

So while the risk premium around oil flows may seem tolerable for Trump, the threats to energy production infrastructure the Gulf remain significant, which is exactly why regional countries are still trying to mediate a return to a durable ceasefire and diplomatic agreement. Trump too, is erratic, and could give cause to Iran to escalate in this way through his own fixation on “winning” the war. Markets are able to price this, especially not when traders are so fixated on short-term price action.

In this respect, the strait isn’t really Iran’s principle source of leverage. It never was! The attacks on U.S. bases and Gulf cities and infrastructure were far more consequential, but these dimensions of the conflict were downplayed because of what it would mean to acknowledge that Iran has such dangerous capabilities that the U.S. was unable to mitigate or degrade during the entirety of the fighting.

Sure, the U.S. navy can escort vessels (at great cost) and keep oil flowing. But the more fundamental issue of the failure of U.S. security guarantees over the entirety of the Gulf remains unresolved, and this is what provides Iran leverage in the negotiations.

Iran did not wage a scorched earth campaign—but it may yet do so if the current situation persists for too long. That is what everyone who actually follows this region and its dynamics is worried about.

🚨Gulf oil exports top 20 million barrels a day for the first time since the war began

Oil exports from the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman climbed above 20 million barrels a day on a 7-day average this week, according to preliminary Kpler data. The figure covers Strait of Hormuz transits plus loadings at Fujairah and Oman, and excludes Red Sea and shipments through other bypasses.

Saudi Arabia is driving much of the rebound. Its exports reached 5.4 million b/d in September, up nearly 3 million from August, though still about 1 million below September 2025.

The surge came the same day Trump rejected Iran's offer to reopen Hormuz within seven days. "I reject their proposal… Massive amounts of oil” has been leaving the Strait of Hormuz, he said Saturday.

A huge full circle for me!

As a teenager, I stood in the streets and protested after the horrific hellish bombings on bus line 18 in Jerusalem. Dozens of innocent people were murdered, and entire families were destroyed.

About two weeks ago, I arrived at the prison and came face to face with the arch-terrorist Hassan Salameh - one of Hamas's top leaders, friend and partner of Yehiya Sinwar may his name be erased, who was sent by the tyrant Muhammad Deif may his name be erased to Judea and Samaria to organize those same bus bombings.

I told him that the boy who protested in the streets back then is today the Minister of National Security, and I looked the devil in the eyes. He trembled and was terrified - and he has good reason to be.

As Minister of National Security, I led a policy that turned his life into hell. And with God's help, as Defense Minister, I will act to ensure that murderer terrorists like him are put to death, and I will advance the immigration policy from Gaza and from Judea and Samaria.
