Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Iran’s Islamic Republic was “very close” to collapse, while Tehran’s Revolutionary Guards outlined conditions for ending the war with the United States. The IRGC demanded an end to US military action and threats, an Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon, an end to the Yemen blockade, release of $24 billion in frozen Iranian assets and a pledge not to interfere with Iran’s nuclear and missile capabilities. Meanwhile, escalating attacks pushed Brent crude above $100 a barrel, amid growing fears over energy supplies. Fighting has disrupted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, which previously carried roughly one-fifth of global oil supplies. US strikes on Iranian tankers and Houthi attacks on Saudi oil facilities further heightened market concerns. (PC: X)
