[Iran Signals Positive Developments in US-China Negotiations, Lifting Blockade and Releasing Frozen Funds Key Demands] Odaily Planet Daily reports that Iranian President Peskov stated that the Supreme Leader has granted the government some authority in negotiations. This news caused international oil prices to plummet and gold and silver prices to surge, with the market interpreting it as a signal that Iran's negotiating stance may be more flexible and could enhance the government's ability to reach an agreement with the United States. It is important to note that Iran's strategic decisions remain with the Supreme Leader; therefore, any progress in negotiations requires the unanimous approval of the Supreme Leader and the negotiating team. Iran had previously proposed a two-day framework plan for the conditional reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, contingent on the fulfillment of its demands, including lifting the blockade, releasing frozen funds, and easing sanctions.
