The US sent a 15-point framework to Iran to end the war in the Middle East. The plan was delivered through Pakistan and calls for Tehran to dismantle its primary nuclear infrastructure. In return, Iran wants the US to close its military bases in the Gulf and provide financial reparations. The news led to a surge in the Dow Jones Industrial Average, with a gain of 401 points. Oil prices also slipped, with West Texas Intermediate crude futures dropping nearly 4% to $88.62 per barrel. The market is watching for a direct US-Iran meeting by Thursday.
