US demands Iran publicly pledge to keep Hormuz open as talks resume

The United States is pressuring Iran to issue a public commitment to keeping the Strait of Hormuz open, guaranteeing safe passage and no attacks on ships as a condition for continuing talks. Washington also wants Iran to implicitly acknowledge past mistakes and to hand over “nuclear dust” in any final deal. A Saturday meeting in Oman is targeted for Iran’s response, with officials warning that failure to meet the demand could derail negotiations. Despite Trump’s assertion that the ceasefire is over, U.S. officials say talks can continue, though a long-term deal remains uncertain and leverage is available across military, diplomatic, and economic channels. Iran reportedly aimed to wait until Ayatollah Khamenei’s funeral to resolve major items.

Oil dips after spike on Iran strike fears as talks loom

Oil prices cooled after an initial jump sparked by U.S. strikes on Iran, with Brent around $76.30 and WTI about $72.08 as traders expect a return to negotiations between Washington and Tehran. Tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz slowed amid security concerns, but traders aren’t pricing in a full closure. Mediators including Qatar and Pakistan are pushing for talks, and Citi analysts say a resumption of negotiations in the coming weeks is plausible.

Trump’s Iran concessions clash with Tehran’s denials, fueling trust questions in the negotiations

Trump touts concessions from a recently released MOU—permanent nuclear inspections, new IAEA access, unfrozen assets spent on U.S. goods, and toll-free passage in the Strait of Hormuz—for a deal with Iran, but Tehran denies agreeing to these terms and says only existing procedures apply. The MOU reportedly leans toward Iran, and the administration’s credibility issues, plus suggested secret terms, complicate who to trust and what was actually agreed.

Vance Takes Center Stage in Iran Talks as Core Issues Remain Unresolved

Vice President JD Vance leads negotiations with Iran after privately opposing the war, touting a deal that allows UN inspectors back in but defers the most critical decisions about Iran's nuclear program; insiders describe the move as a strategic sales job rather than a controlling policy, while critics label the interim memorandum a capitulation that could crumble under pressure from Trump and other hardliners.

Iran-US Swiss Talks Edge Forward on Asset Release and Next Negotiations

60-Day Sprint Starts for U.S.-Iran Deal as Zurich Talks Struggle

Negotiators in Zurich launched a 60-day sprint to turn a loosely defined Memorandum of Understanding into a full U.S.-Iran peace deal, but mutual distrust, shifting leadership roles, and new regional crises—including Iran’s actions around the Strait of Hormuz after Israeli strikes—threaten the pact’s progress, with mediators working to keep talks alive even as a formal breakthrough remains uncertain.

Trump Flouts The Art of the Deal Rule in Iran Talks

CNN’s analysis argues that Trump’s 2015 warning not to appear desperate in a deal with Iran is echoed by his own administration’s current stance: officials say they want to get the Iran negotiations over with, signaling concessions and a weaker negotiating position as tougher talks loom in the coming 60 days after the agreement’s signing.

Iran fortifies uranium cache, raising risks for any U.S. seizure plan

Iran has dramatically intensified fortifications around a roughly half-ton cache of near bomb-grade uranium, collapsing tunnels and placing mines at entrances to make retrieval far riskier and slower. The moves complicate any U.S. plan to seize the material amid ongoing negotiations to remove and destroy the stockpile, with extraction requiring heavy equipment and de-mining and with conflicting accounts about the draft deal terms.

Trump said he canceled planned strikes and claimed Iran's leadership approved a draft memorandum that would extend the ceasefire, reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and launch 60 days of negotiations on Iran's nuclear program, but Tehran insists no final decision has been made and key gaps remain, with mediators reporting progress but no binding agreement yet.

Trump: Iran talks moving forward, warns Netanyahu on war risk

President Trump says talks with Iran are progressing and that the party with the most influence should prevail, while cautioning Netanyahu to avoid actions that could derail the negotiations; he argues a full‑scale war would be costly and could prolong Hormuz closures, and he hints at a post‑conflict rebuilding role for Iran. In a separate interview, he warns Netanyahu he could be ‘on his own’ if Israel resumes fighting, amid regional calls to maintain the deal. Iran’s airspace was reported to be normal again, and Trump and Netanyahu held two phone conversations after weekend strikes.
