US heating oil prices dropped below $3.30 per gallon, approaching their lowest level in more than three months, after reports showed the US and Iran reached a deal that could pave the way for a gradual return of energy exports from the Middle East.
President Donald Trump said the deal was “now complete,” adding that the Strait of Hormuz would reopen without transit fees and sanctions-related restrictions on Iran would be lifted once the agreement is signed on June 19.
Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi confirmed the agreement, though he said the text would remain confidential until the official signing ceremony.
While this eases concerns for Gulf producers, the path to restoring flows still has hurdles, including mine clearance and how strictly Iran will regulate maritime passage.
Producers cautioned that a complete recovery could take months, citing technical and geological constraints and infrastructure damage.
