US–Iran talks stall as new Hormuz proposal raises stakes

Talks between the United States and Iran have entered a new phase of uncertainty after planned negotiations in Islamabad failed to take place. According to reports, Iran has now floated a proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end the war first, while delaying nuclear negotiations. The move puts Washington in a dilemma, balancing de-escalation with pressure over Iran’s nuclear programme. #USIranTensions #StraitOfHormuz #Geopolitics
