What's behind this
JD Vance is heading indirect US talks with Iran, working with Qatari and Pakistani mediators to revive a cease‑fire and restart nuclear negotiations, though officials say progress is extremely sluggish. At the same time, President Donald Trump said the US military carried out new limited strikes on Iran, targeting an air‑defence system, with Iranian state media reporting two explosions in the Suza area of Qeshm Island, a key oil‑shipping waterway. US officials noted that most of Iran’s air‑defence systems were already degraded after a June 2025 Israeli bombardment. The US has issued a security alert for Americans across the Middle East, warning of possible attacks, flight cancellations and airspace closures.
