U.S. Says ‘Slight Progress’ in Iran Talks Amid Uncertainty About Whether War Will Resume
Rubio said talks have narrowed some gaps as Pakistan and Qatar press Iran on uranium and Strait of Hormuz terms, he said.
- On Sunday, United States Secretary Marco Rubio reported "significant progress" in talks to end the US-Israeli war on Iran, while President Donald Trump claimed the memorandum to reopen the Strait of Hormuz was "largely negotiated."
- The US-Israeli war on Iran effectively shut the crucial Strait of Hormuz to most vessels, triggering a global energy crisis that prompted Washington to seek a deal to normalize transit.
- Under the potential agreement, the number of vessels passing through the Strait would return to pre-war levels within 30 days, while negotiations regarding the Iranian nuclear stockpile would continue over a 60-day period.
- Iran emphasized that any potential deal is conditional on the release of frozen funds during the first phase, and the memorandum remains subject to final approval by the Supreme Leader.
- Rubio added that the agreement initiates a process to ensure "a world that no longer has to fear or worry about an Iranian nuclear weapon," though Al Jazeera correspondent Ali Hashem noted the talks remain in a delicate situation.
