What does President Trump mean by the US “semi‑negotiating” with Iran?
President Trump said the US is only semi-negotiating with Iran and he's willing to let economic pressure build rather than order new attacks. The president told Axios he's quote low-keying it with Tehran on the Strait of Hormuz. Iran's foreign minister Abbas Arrachi says his country is negotiating with Oman.
Our negotiations with Oman concerned the establishment of new maritime routes through the Strait of Hormuz. These talks have progressed well, and I can say that we are in the final stages.
And Foreign Minister Abbas Arachi spoke through an interpreter. Over the weekend, Iran also replaced one hardliner with another as the country's top security official. Mosin Rezahi is a former commander-in-chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. He's been pushing for full Iranian control of the Strait of Hormuz.

What the Israelis are saying now is they're rejecting that. They want a full, uh, verified disarmament of Hamas, and also um they have no interest in a Palestinian state. This is not something that should come as a surprise to anyone, not least as the Israeli election is in October. Netanyahu is running to extend his already record term. He needs to prevent right-wing and far right votes from hemorrhaging. and he had received some blowback in his cabinet from far right partners about this roadmap.
