The US and Iran are reportedly in talks to end the conflict, despite President Donald Trump's announcement of an end to the conflict. Despite efforts to arrange a meeting between the two sides, sources suggest it is unlikely due to the wide gap between the countries' demands. The US and Israel have launched their war against Iran, with Tehran claiming it has control over the Strait of Hormuz. Despite attempts to negotiate, the prospect of a ceasefire with Iran remains uncertain. Israel is also concerned that an eventual ceasefire agreement will not address all of its concerns regarding Iran's ballistic missile program and proxy activities in the region. Some Gulf and European allies are growing concerned about the lack of momentum towards negotiations.
