# USIranNegotiation

From May 24 to 26, the US and Iran engaged in intense Qatari-mediated talks. The US claimed a 95 percent deal has been reached, covering the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and Iran's highly enriched uranium stockpile. However, on May 25, the US launched self-defense airstrikes on missile sites and vessels in southern Iran, with explosions reported in Bandar Abbas. Iran accused the US of violating the ceasefire. Trump's stance has shifted from declaring a deal "largely negotiated" to cautioning against rushing into an agreement, as he convened his full cabinet to discuss Iran policy. Iran shot down a US drone, signaling that military deterrence remains on the table. A final agreement has yet to be signed.
