The US-Iran peace deal remains deadlocked despite ongoing diplomatic efforts, with US President Donald Trump stating that a framework has been 'largely negotiated'. Key issues include control over the Strait of Hormuz, where the US seeks unrestricted navigation while Iran insists on maintaining oversight. Additionally, the nuclear program is a contentious point, with the US and Israel demanding Iran halt uranium enrichment, which Tehran refuses. Sanctions relief is another major hurdle, as Iran demands immediate easing of sanctions and access to frozen assets, while the US insists that such relief is contingent upon Iran's compliance with nuclear conditions. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has voiced strong opposition, insisting that any agreement must ensure the complete dismantling of Iran's nuclear capabilities. Despite claims of progress, both sides acknowledge they are 'very close and very far' from reaching a consensus. The complexities of regional conflicts, particularly in Lebanon, and a lack of trust following the US withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal further complicate negotiations.
