The benchmark US oil contract, West Texas Intermediate, also saw a decrease of 5.01%, priced at $87.72.

Earlier reports indicated that the US had sent Iran a 15-point proposal aimed at resolving the US-Israel conflict concerning Iran, as disclosed by a source familiar with the situation to Reuters.

The New York Times previously reported on the US plan, stating that it was conveyed through Pakistan, citing two officials.

According to the NYT’s report, it remains uncertain how extensively the plan has been communicated to Iranian officials and whether Iran is inclined to consider it as a foundation for negotiations.
