US–Iran talks focus on Strait of Hormuz dispute

US and Iranian officials have held their highest-level talks in decades in Islamabad, marking a rare diplomatic breakthrough aimed at ending a six-week war, though deep divisions remain—particularly over control and access to the Strait of Hormuz.

While US President Donald Trump said military operations had begun to clear the strait for international shipping, Iran disputed American claims of naval transit and continues to demand control of the waterway, war reparations, and broader regional ceasefire terms.

“We’re now starting the process of clearing out the Strait of Hormuz as a favour to Countries all over the World,” said US President Donald Trump. A Pakistanis source told media, “There were mood swings from the two sides and the temperature went up and down during the meeting.”



The negotiations, held during a fragile two-week ceasefire, have been marked by tension and mutual distrust, with both sides presenting conflicting accounts over key issues such as frozen Iranian assets.

Despite this, limited signs of progress emerged as some oil tankers resumed passage.

  1. I had to laugh!
    On Yahoo news.
    Vance arrived in Pakistan, he urged Iran to take the negotiations seriously, warning Tehran not “to try to play us.”

  2. There’s something very jooish going on here- the talks are started and carried-on as a diversion (just like the Maiden Ageement in the Ukraine 2014…) whilst the U.S. pours more arms into the region via air convoy.
    Israel has started both wars, and then pleads for mercy when the Zionist bastards run out of ammo and end-up getting their matzo balls kicked, as well as their a$$e$
    The sad thing is that the U.S. supports these deceitful faux-joos…and their evil, deceitful, genocidal war crime pawn shop mentality!
    EVERYONE in every NATION now realises what the joos are all about, and that they do pose a clear & present danger to the free world.
    Iran, for all of it’s faults since 1979, is correct in attacking Israel, since Iran was attacked first by the joos with the support of the U.S..
    Funny thing is; most leaders who align themselves with the U.S. end up dead…ie Kadafi, Hussein, etc Why?
    Because this is a modus that the joos play at, with the Mossad assassins, IDF Unit 8200 and Palantir.
    Once the Iranians demand removal of U.S. troops in the region, things should begin to settle down, due to the massive potential damage that a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and Red Sea access poses to the global economy by with-holding the oil that the global economy and trade runs on.
    U.S. bases, and troops in the area need to leave, and they also need to leave Europe and continental Asia, go home, protect your own sovereignty, territory, and use the monetary savings of maintaining overseas bases to rebuild the infrastructure and endeavour to get the massive amounts of homeless off of the streets, 45% of whom are VETERANS FROM THE U.S.’s NUMEROUS WARS OVER THE LAST 60+ YEARS!

  3. Meanwhile fakearse weaselly peters will be cuddled-up nice and warm in fraudulent scumbag-warpig rubios lap licking his buttocks and planning their next little stunt together..

  4. Control over the Strait of Hormuz is turning out to be a test of whether or not the Americans are even capable of negotiating in any good faith rather than sabotaging the negotiations http://www.tasnimnews.ir/en/news/2026/04/12/3563559/strait-of-hormuz-status-won-t-change-until-a-framework-is-reached-iranian-source

    The USA struggles to negotiate in any good faith because the USA clearly needs much more time to understand who actually won the war http://www.tasnimnews.ir/en/news/2026/04/11/3563239/axios-claim-of-us-navy-ship-crossing-hormuz-strait-denied
