Trump is gaining surprising leverage over Iran

The article discusses how the recent drop in oil prices has provided the Trump administration with more leverage in negotiations with Iran. During the spring, Iran's threats against shipping through the Strait of Hormuz kept oil prices high, but as the strait reopened, oil supplies began to increase, leading to lower prices. This shift has reduced pressure on the U.S. to make a quick agreement with Iran, which could have favored Iran. Analysts note that global oil demand has decreased, especially in regions like China and Europe, which have accelerated their transition to electric vehicles. The International Energy Agency and other experts predict a surplus of oil in the future, which could drive prices down further.

Bias read (Center): The article presents a balanced view of the situation, discussing both the impact of Iran's actions on oil prices and the potential consequences of increased supply.
