President Trump has repeatedly signaled a de-escalation in military action against Iran, stating new attacks are 'quite unlikely' and the war is 'effectively over' militarily, though a sea blockade remains. This shift follows appeals from Gulf partners and has led to a significant drop in oil prices. Diplomatic efforts, particularly by Qatar, are underway to salvage nuclear talks and address the Strait of Hormuz situation, but the durability of this de-escalation and the success of negotiations remain uncertain.
