Al Arabiya reports that sources to Yedioth Ahronoth, Israel’s largest paid newspaper, said that Iran’s foreign minister Araghchi secretely informed Netanyahu of Mojtaba Khamenei’s approval for negotiations and that the Supreme Leader has agreed to negotiate with the US and reach an agreement.

This would be in line with what Trump has claimed yesterday but given the mixed messages, everyone is still taking these reports with a pinch of salt.

There’s also this ominous news that the additional US worships and thousands of Marines are expected to arrive in the Middle East on Friday, which is the deadline of Trump’s ceasefire for negotiations.

So, everyone’s asking if we got the real TACO yesterday or it was just the usual jawboning strategy to ease market’s stress and lower oil prices before another escalation.
