Oil prices fall as US and Iran move toward diplomatic agreement.

Crude oil prices dropped over 3% to their lowest levels in nearly three months following reports that the U.S. and Iran are close to a diplomatic agreement. U.S. President Donald Trump canceled planned strikes on Iran, reducing fears of escalation in the Middle East conflict. The potential deal could ease restrictions on oil transit through the Strait of Hormuz.
