White House official says claims Iran prefers negotiating with Vice President JD Vance are not true

The denial from the White House regarding claims that Iran prefers negotiating with Vice President JD Vance reflects ongoing tensions and uncertainty in US-Iran relations. This could influence market sentiment, particularly in the energy sector, as any shift in diplomatic dynamics around Iran often impacts oil supply and prices, especially WTI. Traders should be cautious of any further developments that could affect geopolitical stability in the region.
