Oil prices have plummeted to their lowest point in over two years, with Brent crude experiencing its biggest monthly decline since 2020. The sudden drop has sparked widespread concern among energy experts, who are attributing the downturn to a potential breakthrough in nuclear talks between the United States and Iran. Sources close to the negotiations suggest that a deal may be imminent, which could lead to a significant increase in Iran's oil exports and put downward pressure on global prices.
