March 27 – According to the Wall Street Journal, citing sources familiar with the matter, Iran will not agree to meet to negotiate a possible ceasefire agreement until the United States agrees to reduce the demands of its 15-point plan. The sources indicated that Iran is open to talks but considers the US proposals excessive, including dismantling most of its nuclear program, ending support for regional allies, and limiting its missile program. Iranian and Arab officials stated that Tehran has ruled out discussing Irans missile program as a starting point for the talks. They indicated that Iran is also unwilling to commit to a permanent halt to uranium enrichment activities. The sources said that Iran also hopes to obtain assurances (preferably through a third party) that the United States and Israel will not retaliate with further attacks. One Iranian official stated that Iran remains willing to consider previously proposed restrictions on its nuclear program, including diluting its stockpile of highly enriched uranium. The United States suspects that Iran may eventually use its stockpile of highly enriched uranium, far exceeding any civilian needs, to develop nuclear weapons.The Federal Reserve accepted a total of $885 million from 16 counterparties in its fixed-rate reverse repurchase operations.European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde: Energy disruptions could last for years, and the economic consequences will only gradually emerge.Market sources say Spain and Algeria are in talks to increase pipeline natural gas supplies by up to 10%.Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has appointed Carlos Curpo as Deputy Prime Minister.
