Vice President JD Vance reported progress in US-Iran negotiations on May 13, citing advances on uranium limits and de-escalation amid a fragile ceasefire following 2025 hostilities, while upholding President Trump's red line barring Tehran from nuclear weapons. Traders note Vance's direct involvement ended after April's 21-hour Islamabad talks hosted by Pakistan—which included Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf but yielded no deal on Strait of Hormuz reopening or reparations—with subsequent rounds led by envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. Vance met Qatar's prime minister on May 12 to discuss pathways forward, but no new Vance-Iran meeting is scheduled, reflecting backchannel momentum over high-level diplomacy and risks of breakdown from military alerts or sticking points like sanctions relief.
