There is renewed tension around the ceasefire.
The two meetings that they have had thus far have focused not on the nuclear issue or sanctions, but on the very narrow question of trying to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
And then those talks have been on hold for a week anyway, while the Iranians bury Ali Khamenei, the former supreme leader who was killed at the start of the war.
The next meeting is not scheduled.
next week.
So I think the best case scenario is that they extend that 60-day period, which they're allowed to do in the memorandum.
And this drags out for a prolonged period of time.
I don't think anything will get done within two months.
We haven't.
He has been in seclusion since the beginning of the war.
Not only have we not seen him, we haven't even heard his voice.
He's issued some written statements, but not even a recorded message from him.
I think partly that is due to he suffered injuries during the war.
We don't know the full extent of them, but he's said to be
quite badly wounded.
I think that's making it difficult for him to appear in public.
And then I think it's also an open question just how much power he has behind the scenes in Iran.
Nominally, he is the supreme leader.
He is the final arbiter in the Iranian system.
But I think in practice, power has now been delegated to or arrogated by the Revolutionary Guard and other more hard-line figures in the Iranian system.
