# Iran Foreign Minister:  Focus is on ending the war and fulfilling Iran's clear demands

Iran Foreign Minister is saying:

-   Focus is on ending the war and fulfilling Iran's clear demands.
-   Tehran's main focus is ending the war on all fronts including Lebanon, releasing frozen assets,and stopping pressing actions and maritime piracy
-   Despite the negative record, Iran is pursuing the path of negotiations with seriousness in good faith, but is suspicious of America's performance.

They say that they are currently studying the US's points for peace.

Meanwhile, Pres. Trump says that oil from Venezuela is coming to Texas/Louisiana/Alaska.

-   Iran will not have a nuclear weapon
-   More fighting to come unless Iran gets smart.

I don't know if the gap is narrowing, but the markets seem to think if there is more bombing, it would be short-lived before a surrender. My guess.
