"Oil prices, which rose during the previous trading session, have maintained their upward momentum following US President Donald Trump's statement that Washington no longer needs an agreement with Iran. This declaration has dampened hopes for a diplomatic resolution to the conflict.

Trump has also instructed Vice President J.D. Vance to prioritize domestic issues over negotiations with Tehran.

Meanwhile, Iran maintains its position that the US must lift its naval blockade and sanctions against the country before direct peace talks can begin. Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, Mohsen Rezaei, also emphasized that Tehran has no intention of removing its enriched nuclear materials from the country.

Despite these developments, oil prices are heading toward a second consecutive weekly decline, driven by the resumption of crude oil exports from the Middle East.

Furthermore, the Democratic Party's victory in the US midterm election has strengthened expectations that the conflict might come to an end sooner," the report said.
