## Key points

- Trump has shifted Iran negotiator JD Vance to domestic issues.
- Tehran sees less scope for a deal and greater risk of conflict.
- Mediated contacts continue amid deep mistrust and economic pressure.

## Summary

US President Donald Trump has redirected Vice President JD Vance, who had led negotiations with Iran, to focus on allegations of Democratic corruption, saying a deal with Tehran is no longer a priority. Iranian analysts see the move as a sign that Washington may be less interested in a negotiated end to the war, potentially increasing the risk of renewed conflict.

Vance was viewed in Tehran as relatively pragmatic and supported a memorandum of understanding that briefly paused the war in June and reopened shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. Mediated contacts continue, but Iran’s seven conditions for ending the war and deep mistrust over whether Trump would honour any agreement make a breakthrough unlikely. Analysts warn that continued sanctions and a US siege are imposing heavy costs on Iranians.
