The so-called “gulf of trust” has widened into a chasm.
Recent events in the Strait of Hormuz and the disputed seizure of vessels have further eroded confidence, with Tehran labeling the actions as provocations and Washington defending them as security necessities. As the ceasefire clock runs down, peace talks remain fragile, conditional, and politically contested.
Without restraint, verification, and a minimum shared framework of trust, diplomacy risks collapsing into a cycle of retaliation.
The question is no longer whether talks will resume—but whether either side still believes talks can deliver peace.
