Iranian media reported on Friday that the United States has not offered any concrete concessions in response to Iran's proposal for negotiations to end the ongoing conflict.
The lack of progress has raised concerns about the likelihood of a near-term peace agreement, with tensions continuing to weigh on regional and global markets.
The development comes amid heightened geopolitical uncertainty, with investors closely monitoring any shifts in diplomatic efforts.
The absence of a breakthrough has reinforced existing risk-off sentiment, particularly in sectors sensitive to Middle East stability, such as energy and shipping.
The situation underscores the fragility of current diplomatic channels, with no clear next steps outlined.
Analysts suggest that the stalemate could prolong volatility in key markets, especially if the conflict escalates further or disrupts critical trade routes.
