Strait of Hormuz: Who’s in control?
Tensions around the Strait of Hormuz escalated, following US remarks about blocking vessels linked to Iran. The high-stakes US-Iran talks in Islamabad wrapped up without a deal on Sunday. Washington cited “extensive flexibility” and “good-faith negotiations” but no consensus, so far. For its part, Tehran blamed “excessive” US demands that got in the way of a common framework and agreement. China, on Monday, urged all parties to follow the temporary ceasefire arrangement and stay committed to political and diplomatic channels in settling disputes. The goal is to avoid flare-ups and create conditions toward lasting peace in the Gulf region. So, what are the prospects of diplomacy working toward a lasting peace settlement, and what’s next?
