US-Iran peace talks may resume amid blockade tensions

Peace talks between the US and Iran may resume this week following a 21-hour ceasefire negotiation that failed over the weekend, with uranium enrichment timelines emerging as a key sticking point. Iran has offered to pause its enrichment programme for five years while the US is seeking at least 20 years. The US naval blockade on Iranian ports in the Arabian Sea remains in effect, with CENTCOM reporting six vessels turned around and no confirmed breaches of the blockade despite some media reports to the contrary.
