US-Iran Diplomacy: Hormuz Reopening, Sanctions, and Nuclear Stance
Diplomatic efforts between the US and Iran are underway at the UN General Assembly, primarily focused on a phased agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for lifting US economic sanctions.

The outcome remains uncertain, with oil markets reacting to both stalled talks and hopes of de-escalation.
