US Secretary of Energy Chris Wright indicated that the United States may be nearing a deal with Iran concerning the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical maritime passage for global oil shipments. Speaking on Fox News Sunday, Wright praised President Donald Trump as a 'creative negotiator' and expressed optimism about the negotiations, stating that they are progressing well despite public chatter suggesting otherwise. The US is preparing for another round of talks in Pakistan, led by Vice President JD Vance, with a delegation that includes envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. President Trump emphasized the urgency of the situation, warning of military action if Iran does not accept the US terms, which he described as 'very fair and reasonable.' However, there has been no official confirmation from Iran regarding their participation in the talks, and key differences remain, particularly concerning nuclear issues and the Strait of Hormuz.
