In a surprising move, Trump announced positive contacts and good conversations happening behind the scenes with Tehran today. The statements completely contradict the military alert state and mutual threats of closing straits and continuing blockades. Trump confirmed he will present the public with additional details about this conversation track by day's end. Analysts believe Trump uses diplomatic shock tactics attempting to make a quick breakthrough before presidential elections. Markets receive these statements with cautious hope, perhaps contributing to calming oil prices that recorded insane highs. The Iranian side maintains official silence and hasn't issued any comment confirming or denying these alleged conversations. Gulf countries watch these developments extremely cautiously fearing an American-Iranian deal at the expense of their security. Internal and external pressures push the US administration to find a face-saving exit without conceding its conditions. The coming hours will reveal the seriousness of these statements or if they're mere media maneuvers globally. The Gulf region lives difficult times swinging between imminent military explosion or sudden diplomatic solutions for everyone.
