Why this matters

U.S.-Iran talks are critical due to ongoing tensions over Iran's nuclear program and the potential impact on global oil markets. A successful deal could lead to the lifting of sanctions on Iranian oil, increasing global supply and potentially lowering prices, while a failure could escalate tensions and drive prices higher.
