Recent developments in US-Iran negotiations have generated mixed signals, with no concrete agreement reached despite hints of progress. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio suggested that updates could be forthcoming, but President Donald Trump later emphasized the need for caution and that Iran must not acquire nuclear weapons. Iran's foreign ministry acknowledged some narrowing of differences but clarified that no agreement had been finalized. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons is crucial, underscoring Israel's conditions for any deal. Within Trump's Republican Party, opinions are sharply divided; Senator Ted Cruz voiced concerns over the potential deal, while Representative Thomas Massie suggested that opposition from figures like Cruz might indicate the deal's viability. Additionally, Congressman Ro Khanna pointed out that Congress may pursue a War Powers resolution to limit military action against Iran, citing economic pressures stemming from regional tensions. The reopening of the Strait of Hormuz remains a key issue, with Iranian state media indicating a desire to restore traffic within 30 days, although full normalization is uncertain.
