Iranian Supreme Leader Grants Government Authority for Peace Negotiations

"Event [2] describes the Supreme Leader granting authority for peace negotiations. This high-level diplomatic green light is a primary driver for the market sentiment shift described in the new event, as it signals a credible path toward de-escalation that reduces supply risk premiums."

"The new event describes the formalization of the authority granted in event [1]. Event [1] states the President authorized negotiation flexibility, and the new event confirms that the Supreme Leader has now officially granted the government the specific authorities to conduct these talks, representing the direct institutional follow-up and validation of the earlier diplomatic move."

"Both events represent simultaneous diplomatic signals from Tehran indicating a willingness to de-escalate and engage in negotiations. Event [10] signals reopening the Strait of Hormuz under an agreement, while the new event signals internal political alignment for peace talks, both occurring on the same day and reflecting a coordinated shift in Iran's diplomatic posture."

"Event [4] details Iran conditioning the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz on US concessions, which is a specific diplomatic demand. The new event provides the internal political context (Supreme Leader's approval) that enables the government to pursue such conditional negotiations, making them parallel diplomatic developments reinforcing each other."
