The dominant signal in this window is the escalating US-Iran peace deal narrative, now corroborated by multiple high-credibility sources. Pakistan's PM reports US and Iran have finalized the text of a peace agreement, and Iran's Foreign Ministry says signing the Islamabad Memorandum could happen within days. This counters the previous oil supply crisis thesis and is driving a sharp decline in gas prices. However, a tanker vessel was struck in the Strait of Hormuz per UKMTO reports, indicating ongoing risks. The UAE Foreign Ministry denies reports that frozen Iranian funds are being released, calling them 'entirely false and unfounded.' The narrative arc is DE-ESCALATING for the Iran oil crisis, but with residual risks.
