[95938] White House: Memorandum of understanding with Iran will lead to a drop in oil prices

The White House on the agreements with Iran: "Expectation of a drop in oil prices"

White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt addressed in an interview with the "Fox News" network the economic impacts of the memorandum of understanding recently signed with Iran. According to her, as reported by کانال اخبار سپاه پاسداران (affiliated with the Revolutionary Guards), following the agreements, a drop in oil prices was recorded, and the assessment is that they will return to the levels recorded before the outbreak of the fighting. Leavitt described the trend as "a sign of a positive market response to the decrease in tensions and the progress of the diplomatic path," as noted in reports by SNN.ir|خبرگزاری دانشجو (a news agency affiliated with the conservative student wing in Iran) and تبریز خبرلری.

At the same time, the White House sought to emphasize the nature of the agreement. In the interview, Leavitt clarified that the Trump administration would not sign any agreement that does not serve the national and security interests of the United States. She also spoke out sharply against the original nuclear deal (JCPOA), which she called "ridiculous" and "disastrous," claiming that it only enriched Iran with cash without securing American interests, as reported by SNN.ir.

Conversely, the Iranian media outlets cited above present a critical narrative toward Washington. In a report by the SNN agency, it is claimed that the White House's claims of protecting American interests come at a time when there is criticism that Trump "sacrificed the interests of the U.S." by taking military actions against Iran and cooperating with Israel. The reports in Iran emphasize that the American administration uses repetitive rhetoric in order to justify its policy to the American public.
