No IAEA access amid war; talks focus on inspections as strike plans reported
Why it's at this level
The IAEA reported Iran to the UN Security Council on 1 Oct and has no access to Iranian sites. On 31 Oct Iran's security chief said Tehran was debating whether to keep its ban on nuclear weapons, and state TV said nuclear talks could only follow US acceptance of Iran's demands. Rubio said Trump had not decided whether to resume strikes.
What this means for you
Renewed strikes would likely push oil and gas prices higher again.
Part of a wider situation
US–Iran war and Gulf energy shock: War in stalemate with Hormuz largely closed: Brent above $110, TTF above €100, tanker attacks on 29–30 Oct.
Why it matters
A nuclear-armed Iran — or strikes to prevent one — could ignite the Gulf and send oil far higher.
What moves it
Enrichment levels, IAEA access, Israeli/US military posture, snapback sanctions, talks.
