"The on-again, off-again talks with Iran, alongside Trump's abrupt about turn on Operation Freedom, has created unwelcome frenzy in the Gulf. It reflects the highly fraught and almost frantic diplomatic backchannelling aimed to extract deep concessions from Tehran on the nuclear issue."

The US has paused Project Freedom, a military operation to escort ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the conclusion of Operation Epic Fury, stating its objectives were achieved.

Experts suggest this pause may indicate a significant change in the US-Israel approach towards Iran, as both sides seek concessions and guarantees to end the conflict.
