🇺🇸🇮🇷 US & IRAN EXPLORE PHASED DEAL – But "Fingers Are on the Trigger"

Behind the scenes, Washington and Tehran are discussing a step‑by‑step path to end the war. The first step: end the blockade, reopen Hormuz. But neither side wants to blink first.

🛢️ Phased deal: The US and Iran are exploring a staged agreement – starting with lifting the US naval blockade and reopening the Strait of Hormuz.

⚖️ The obstacle: Neither country wants to concede leverage. Iran acknowledges the cost of a prolonged conflict but says the chances of diplomacy succeeding are "extremely low" because of American "excessive demands."

🎯 Iran's position: "Our fingers are on the trigger." Tehran remains prepared for renewed conflict even as negotiators seek an off‑ramp.

💰 Transit fees: Iran is willing to drop its demand for Hormuz transit fees from its main demands and move it to a side attachment. Gulf states have rejected any proposal for transit fees.
