Mediation Efforts in Iran-US Talks Reach Deadlock, Television Report Says
A television channel reported that mediation between Iran and the United States has stalled, citing a US assessment that Iran has lost control over the Strait of Hormuz, according to TASS.

Mediation efforts aimed at resolving tensions between Iran and the United States have reached a deadlock, according to a television channel cited by the Russian state news agency TASS.
The channel reported that, in Washington's assessment, "the Strait of Hormuz is no longer a priority for Washington" because Iran has "lost control over it." The brief TASS dispatch did not name the television channel or provide further detail on the substance of the talks or who has been mediating them.
The Strait of Hormuz, a narrow waterway between Iran and the Arabian Peninsula, is one of the world's most important routes for oil and gas shipments, and has long featured prominently in tensions between Iran and Western countries, including past incidents involving seized tankers and naval confrontations in the strait.
Because this report originates from Russian state media citing an unnamed television channel, the specific claims about the state of Iran-US mediation and Washington's internal assessment of the strait could not be independently verified from the available excerpt. Readers should treat the characterization of US policy as reported by the source rather than confirmed by US officials directly.
