Let's remind that the answer of Iran, which on the eve was given to ambassadors of six countries of the European Union and Switzerland, representing interests of the USA while is kept in a secret and its detail while are unknown. According to main Iranian representative Ali Laridzhani, Teheran is ready to begin "serious negotiations" for the settlement of the crisis. However it is not known yet, whether the answer of Iran will satisfy the United Nations. Let's remind that earlier the Security Council demanded that Teheran stopped nuclear development till August, 31st, otherwise promising to assume sanctions to the state. Investors are afraid of that the Iranian crisis can lead to faults with oil supply from Iran which volume makes more than two millions barrels a day. On this background oil futures rose in price on results of Tuesday, having continued growth the third trading session in a row.
