Most outlets reported that oil prices increased following US President Donald Trump's rejection of a peace proposal from Iran, with a focus on the resulting market impact and the ongoing tensions related to the Strait of Hormuz. While the majority of excerpts emphasized a rise of more than 1%, a few, such as Profit and BOL News, noted a rise over 2%. Some outlets provided specific price figures, such as the rise of Brent crude to $105.64 or $106.96, while others briefly mentioned the price of US West Texas Intermediate crude. The framing of the event as a "stalemate," "impasse," or "deadlock" varied slightly across outlets but generally aligned in tone and emphasis.
