**Summary**: Senior US officials say they are confident a US–Iran peace deal will be signed Sunday, while Trump publicly declares no further Israeli–Hezbollah attacks in Lebanon. This points to a sharp reduction in near‑term Middle East escalation risk and raises odds of some form of Iranian oil export relief, pressuring crude benchmarks’ risk premium.

## Detail

1) What happened:
Multiple coordinated political signals in the last hour indicate rapid de‑escalation around the Iran–Lebanon theater. The US ambassador says the administration is “confident” a US–Iran peace deal will be signed Sunday, while Trump publicly declares there should be no more Israeli strikes in Lebanon and no attacks by Hezbollah or others on Israel. Parallel commentary from US defense officials frames the talks as advanced, despite not yet being at a formal memorandum.

2) Supply/demand impact:
The key market angle is that a negotiated framework with Iran typically implies some degree of sanctions relief, especially around crude exports and/or enforcement intensity, and reduced risk to Strait of Hormuz flows. Even before exact terms are known, traders will begin to discount the probability of:
- Incremental Iranian barrels staying or coming to market (on the order of 0.5–1.0 mb/d over time, based on prior waivers and gray exports), and
- A major supply disruption via Hormuz closure or proxy attacks on shipping.
This is a removal of upside tail risk rather than an immediate volume shock, but given recent elevated risk premium from Israeli–Lebanon–Iran tensions, it is enough to move flat price and curve structure.

3) Affected assets and direction:
- Brent/WTI: Bearish on risk premium; front‑month could retrace >1–2% as war‑premium fades and markets price higher odds of sustained Iranian flows.
- Dubai/Oman and sour crude differentials: Bearish; incremental Iranian heavy/sour availability would pressure Mideast sour benchmarks and narrow some spreads.
- Front‑end time spreads (Brent, Dubai): Likely to soften as supply risk abates.
- Gold and broad risk‑off proxies: Mildly bearish as geopolitical hedging demand eases.
- EM FX with high oil sensitivity (e.g., INR, TRY, PKR) and importers’ sovereign credit: Mildly positive as perceived oil shock risk declines.

4) Historical precedent:
Announcements and credible leaks around the 2013–2015 JCPOA talks saw Brent sell off several dollars over weeks as markets priced in future Iranian supply and lower Gulf disruption risk. Even without a signed document, firm political signals shifted positioning.

5) Duration:
Impact is initially headline‑driven (days) but could become structural (months) if a deal is actually signed and sanctions enforcement is relaxed. Conversely, any breakdown in talks or renewed large‑scale attacks in Lebanon would quickly re‑inflate the risk premium.
