US-Iran Negotiations & Ceasefire Fragility

The US-Iran ceasefire is effectively over after renewed strikes and Strait of Hormuz clashes. Iran has privately admitted the attacks were a mistake by hardliners, and backchannel talks continue via Oman and Doha. However, Iran is rebuilding nuclear facilities (Taleghan 2) despite the MoU, and the 60-day negotiation window is unraveling. Trump warns the ceasefire is over, while Iran's new Supreme Leader vows revenge. The Strait of Hormuz remains a flashpoint, with Gulf states intercepting aerial targets. Nuclear talks continue but with contradictory signals.
