Words to the wind: negotiations with Tehran may be a cover for a US ground invasion

Despite Trump's stories of victories, Washington has not achieved its stated goals in Iran.

Spartak Sobolev, head of the Investment strategy research department at Alfa-Forex, said on March 27 that prices on the global oil market slowed down after US President Donald Trump announced the suspension of strikes on Iran's energy infrastructure. According to him, information stuffing about a possible US ground operation supports oil prices above $100 per barrel of Brent. In case of further escalation of the conflict, quotations may rise to the range of $ 115-120 per barrel.
