在德黑兰提出重新开放霍尔木兹海峡的新提案后，油价略有下跌。伊朗外交部长表示，这一提议可能在一周内疏通这一关键贸易通道，并重启结束战争的谈判。该提案建立在之前延长停火协议的基础上，但该协议在7月破裂。
Oil prices fell slightly on news that Tehran made a new proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran’s foreign minister said could unblock the key trading route within a week and restart talks to end the war. The proposal builds on an earlier agreement to extend a ceasefire, which collapsed in July. US and Iranian negotiators are discussing a phased deal to reopen the strait and lift Washington’s economic blockade, Reuters reported.

然而，到目前为止，双方都不愿首先放弃自己的谈判筹码，时机至关重要：在中期选举前达成协议可能对特朗普有利，因为这有助于缓解高企的燃油价格问题，而燃油价格已成为美国选民关注的重大问题。不过，在11月大选之后，达成协议的政治动力可能会减弱。
But so far, neither side has been willing to surrender leverage first and the timing is key: Reaching a deal before the midterms could benefit Trump by easing the sky-high fuel prices that have become a major issue for Americans voters. The political incentive for an agreement could wane after the November polls, however. Meanwhile, Iran-backed Houthis continued to target Saudi oil export infrastructure on the Red Sea coast as the kingdom pumps more crude through its East-West pipeline, but is yet to resume the loading of tankers.
与此同时，在伊朗的支持下，胡塞武装继续袭击沙特在红海沿岸的石油出口基础设施，而沙特则通过东西向输油管道增加原油出口，但尚未恢复油轮的装载工作。
