Iran-US mediation deadlocked; US de-prioritizes Strait of Hormuz

Mediation efforts in Iran-US talks have reached a deadlock, according to a TV report. The US assessment reportedly holds that Iran has 'lost control' over the Strait of Hormuz, making it 'no longer a priority for Washington.' This signals a potential shift in US strategic focus, though the claim is unverified and the implications for regional security and oil flows remain uncertain.
