April 29 (UPI) -- The price of Brent crude oil passed $115 per barrel early Wednesday while President Donald Trump urged Iran on social media to agree to a nuclear deal.
The United States and Iran remain under a cease-fire agreement that began on April 8 but negotiations to end the war have stalled. The president posted on Wednesday that Iran "better get smart soon."
"Iran can't get their act together," Trump wrote. "They don't know how to sign a non-nuclear deal. They better get smart soon!"
Trump wrote on social media Tuesday that Iran informed the United States that it is in a "state of collapse," though he did not clarify who told him that. He said Iran was asking for the U.S. Navy to end the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical channel for the Middle East's seaborne oil trade.
