BREAKING: Iran's Supreme National Security Council Secretary Mohsen Rezaei has refused to meet Pakistan's Army Chief Asim Munir, who is in Tehran now to help reach a US-Iran deal "breakthrough," per Tabnak.
Iran says Munir's visit was almost ruled out until Sunday evening, then suddenly finalised by Monday noon as oil prices rose toward the $110 resistance level, per a senior source to Fars.
The source said earlier mediator visits to Tehran had helped bring prices down without any progress in negotiations, and that this one is intended to reassure markets rather than signal a breakthrough.
Brent crude oil rose above $110, its highest since May 19.
