Israeli official says Trump wants Iran deal 'at any cost', report says

The article frames recent oil-market pricing through a new political signal: an unnamed senior Israeli official reportedly said President Trump wants an Iran deal "at any cost." The comment reinforces expectations that Washington is pushing hard for a rapid agreement on the Strait of Hormuz reopening and related Iran-Oman implementation details. Markets have been pricing in progress, supported by earlier remarks from U.S. officials and reports that broad outlines of a plan are already in place. The key implication for markets is reduced geopolitical risk premium for crude if talks advance, though any setback or escalation could quickly reverse that. Goldman Sachs’ view remains that Brent crude should stay in an $80-$90 range unless a deal is confirmed or tensions worsen significantly.
