Headlines: Optimism surrounding a potential US-Iran agreement continued to grow, with reports indicating that the proposed MOU is largely finalised and awaiting final approval. Qatari mediation remains active, and a signing ceremony in Europe is reportedly being planned. On the military front, CENTCOM intercepted two Iranian attack drones targeting commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, while President Trump cancelled a third consecutive night of strikes, citing progress in negotiations. Regionally, the UAE and Iran held their first face-to-face meeting since February, while Russia renewed efforts to promote a Gulf security framework. Maritime security concerns also remained in focus following confirmation that three Indian sailors were killed aboard the SETTEBELLO, prompting condemnation from the IMO and renewed calls for action from New Delhi. Financial markets responded positively to the prospect of a deal, with major US indices posting strong gains despite continued volatility driven by mixed signals from Tehran.
