Iran’s Foreign Minister: Consultations With Mediators Ongoing, Outcome Hinges on US Response

The significance here lies less in what was said than in what wasn't: a diplomat confirming a process while withholding the parties, the terms and the timeline. That opacity is itself a signal, suggesting talks are at a stage where public detail could be destabilizing. For markets exposed to regional risk, the operative variable is now the US response, which makes this a headline-driven waiting period rather than a resolution. Whether the consultations move beyond acknowledgment into anything concrete is the open question.
