Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi announced a visit to Pakistan to coordinate bilateral matters and discuss regional developments.
Traders view the trip as a potential catalyst for renewed Iran‑US peace talks, with Pakistan positioned as key mediator.
Oil prices rose above $100 per barrel, Brent at $105.71 (+0.6%) and WTI at $95.03 (‑0.9%).
The visit follows Trump’s recent extensions of ceasefires in Israel‑Lebanon and an indefinite US‑Iran ceasefire, amid ongoing Strait of Hormuz tensions.
