TREE NEWS update: Iran’s Supreme National Security Council deputy said the nuclear issue is no longer the central focus of negotiations, with the Strait of Hormuz now at the center of the talks. The statement marks a shift in the stated priorities of the negotiations, placing the strategic waterway rather than the nuclear file at the core of the discussion.
Iran Security Council Deputy: Nuclear Issue No Longer Central to Talks, Hormuz Is
Reframing the talks around Hormuz rather than the nuclear file changes what a deal would even be about. The strait is a chokepoint for Gulf crude and LNG shipments, so its status touches energy and freight markets more directly than enrichment timelines do. Whether this reprioritisation reflects a genuine negotiating shift or a tactical repositioning is the open question, and it matters for anyone pricing Gulf supply risk.
