It's starting to make me laugh. The price of crude goes up $3/barrel for legitimate reasons and then 2 days later Krasnov proclaims that a peace deal is on the horizon and crude drops $3/gal, rinse and repeat.

Iran doesn't want a fucking deal. Having civilian Iranian officials negotiating is a pretty big tell, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard is ruling Iran and it doesn't want a deal, unless it's a surrender deal from Krasnov.

What has been going on with these bogus negotiations is just fine with Iran, because time is on its side. Iran has been doing real negotiations with numerous countries who pay the toll through Hormuz for safe passage, everything else is just Kabuki Theater, including the price of crude and gasoline which should be much higher.
