Oil prices reversed early ​gains on Monday after Iran's foreign ⁠ministry said negotiations with ​the U.S. could be pursued based ​on national interests, Reuters reported.

Benchmark prices had earlier touched more than one-month highs ​on concern over disruption to ​shipments through the Strait of Hormuz.

Brent ‌crude ⁠futures were down 14 cents, or 0.16%, at $87.96 a barrel by 0852 GMT after hitting $91.42 for their highest ⁠since June 11.

U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude was down 50 cents, or ⁠0.61%, at $81.99 after touching its loftiest level since June 12.
