Iran suspended all indirect negotiations with the United States on June 1, 2026, citing Israeli strikes in Lebanon as ceasefire violations, and threatened to "completely" close the Strait of Hormuz — a waterway through which 20% of global oil consumption and 20% of the world's LNG trade flow daily. The collapse comes amid a broader war that began in February 2026, an internal power shift toward IRGC hardliners, and an Iranian economic crisis marked by hyperinflation exceeding 100%, raising the stakes for both a return to diplomacy and the risk of further escalation.
