FARS — an Iranian semi-official, regime-aligned outlet was out with a report on ceasefire talks and it’s led to some volatility in markets. The report was first out at 7:50 am ET but is getting some more attention in the past few minutes.<\/p>\n

Here is what it says (translation):<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udd39 Informed sources report increased efforts by the United States to establish a ceasefire and begin indirect negotiations with Iran, but emphasize that Tehran currently considers a ceasefire and negotiations to lack legitimacy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\ud83d\udd39 While U.S. diplomatic activity has intensified over the past five days\u2014mediated by several countries to achieve a ceasefire\u2014experts describe the shift in Donald Trump\u2019s rhetoric as a sign of Washington\u2019s retreat in the face of Iran\u2019s resistance. However, according to observers, the U.S. government’s attempt to preserve its image of strength has led to these requests being presented alongside military and media threats.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\ud83d\udd39 An informed individual, speaking to a reporter from Fars News Agency and referring to the opposing side\u2019s failure to achieve its objectives, stated: \u201cIran does not accept a ceasefire. Fundamentally, entering such a process with those who violate agreements is not logical.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\ud83d\udd39 The source also noted that the Islamic Republic of Iran, before making any decision regarding the ceasefire requests conveyed by U.S. intermediaries, insists on achieving its strategic objectives in confrontation with the opposing front\u2014and only upon verifying their realization would ending the war (not merely a ceasefire) be possible.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\ud83d\udd39 Political analysts also believe that Iran\u2019s comprehensive resistance against the United States, Israel, and their allies has constrained the enemy\u2019s room for maneuver, forcing them to seek a way out of the current situation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So that’s in line with almost everything we’ve heard from Iran’s side since Trump started talking about negotiations and a ceasefire. In any case, it’s knocked down futures to 6660 from 6678. Before the report, US equity futures were at the highs of the day.<\/p>\n
