The U.S., Israel, and Gulf partners want Iran to stop nuclear enrichment, pause its ballistic missile production, and support to groups like Hezbollah and open that strait fully.

Iran, on its part, wants compensation for the war, sanctions lifted, says its missiles are a red line, and maintains that it has a right to enrichment.

So if these talks take place, it's as Israel and Iran each say they, quote, have their finger on the trigger, and with each side, including President Trump, claiming victory going into these talks.
