Oil prices rise as Iran-US negotiations stall

Oil prices are hovering above $90 a barrel as talks between Iran and the United States remain at a stalemate. Brent is now trading at its highest level in almost a month as traders assess a prolonged disruption to oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz.

The speaker of the Iranian parliament, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, said on Tuesday that Hormuz will remain closed until the US fulfills the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding agreed in June.

Media reports say the conditions include lifting the blockade of Iranian ports, lifting oil sanctions and freezing Iranian assets. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump said he has not had or planned any talks with Tehran.

Blendi Kajsiu: Prime Minister's misunderstanding on anti-corruption

The fact that no institution of our public administration noticed that millions of euros were invested in phantom incinerators, that AKSHI was controlled by an ordinary criminal, that the directors of the Municipality of Tirana awarded tenders to themselves, or that the police director and the director of SHISH worked for Gysi, shows that we do not have a public administration and a state.
