US VP Vance reportedly told Israeli PM Netanyahu during a phone call a few days ago that his assessments of the development of the war in Iran and the prospect of toppling the regime were too optimistic, Israeli N12 reports
- Vance held two talks with Netanyahu in the past week, met with senior officials from two U.S. allies in the Gulf and was involved in indirect contacts with the Iranians. He is expected to head the U.S. negotiating team if peace talks take place in the coming weeks.

This could introduce increased geopolitical tension in the region, impacting energy markets, especially oil and natural gas prices, as well as safe-haven assets like gold.
