Amid the 2026 US-Iran war and fragile ceasefire, trader sentiment reflects caution on near-term diplomatic meetings due to Iran's rejection of a recent US peace proposal, coupled with demands for ending hostilities across fronts, lifting the Strait of Hormuz naval blockade, releasing frozen assets, and non-aggression guarantees. Qatar's prime minister engaged US Vice President Vance, Secretary Rubio, and envoy Witkoff on May 9-10 to revive backchannels, but President Trump deemed the ceasefire "on life support" and Tehran's counter "unacceptable" on May 11. High-level indirect Islamabad talks collapsed April 12 without nuclear or de-escalation advances; Trump's upcoming summit with China's Xi may leverage Beijing's influence on Iranian oil exports. No new meetings are scheduled.
