According to Irans Tasnim News Agency, the Iranian president said that his conversation with the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates went well, and they agreed to put the past behind them.On September 13, the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi met with Iranian President Pezehizian. This comes as Iran promotes an agreement that could allow more ships to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. This rare public discussion between the two major powers occurred during the BRICS summit. Meanwhile, Oman is seeking to bring the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) together with Iran to discuss this crucial chokepoint for global energy exports. Iran stated it would brief Gulf states on a new agreement on Monday, but emphasized that any agreement would not equate to a full reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, and that Iran would have a say in which ships could pass. The meeting has not yet been confirmed, and Bahrain has ruled out its attendance, citing recent Iranian-backed attacks on targets in the Gulf region. According to the UAEs official news agency WAM, the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Pezehizian stressed the need to de-escalate tensions, promote de-escalation, and strengthen regional stability.On September 13, Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov stated in New Delhi, in response to media questions, that the possibility of resuming trilateral negotiations on the Ukraine crisis in October could not be ruled out. This followed comments from Jared Kushner, President Trumps son-in-law, who stated that the US, through meetings in Moscow and Kyiv, had gained a clear understanding of what could lead to a long-term solution to the conflict.

A further decline in Saudi oil flows will exacerbate global supply tensions, a problem that has already driven global fuel prices to record highs, triggering inflation worldwide and pushing US Treasury yields to their highest levels since the 2008 financial crisis. Sources gave varying estimates, with one saying repairs could take five to six weeks, while another suggested faster repairs and the possibility of partial resumption of oil transport during the maintenance period. Additionally, according to three industry sources familiar with Saudi exports, Yanbus current reserves can only sustain exports for five to seven days with the pipeline outage. A fourth source said Saudi Arabia can also supply customers for several days from the Red Sea port of Ain Sokhna and the Mediterranean port of Sidi Kelir. Industry estimates suggest that Yanbu has a storage capacity of approximately 35 million barrels, while Ain Sokhna and Sidi Kelir have storage capacities of 18 million and 20 million barrels respectively.On September 13th, South Koreas Minister of Trade, Industry and Energy stated on Sunday that South Korea will hold further talks with the United States early this week to finalize details of Seouls proposed $350 billion investment commitment to the US.
