While Iran and the United States are still exploring a possible deal to end the conflict, both sides are now downplaying hopes of an imminent breakthrough after appearing close to an agreement just days ago. Mabon explains that Iran may currently hold leverage through its influence over the Strait of Hormuz, increasing pressure on both President Donald Trump and the global economy, while Tehran also seeks economic guarantees after years of sanctions. The Iranian nuclear programme remains a major obstacle, with Israel likely pushing behind the scenes against any agreement that fails to address it directly.                            <\/p>\n<div class=\"t-content__tags\">\n<div class=\"m-section-title m-section-title--small\">Keywords for this article<\/div>\n<ul class=\"m-tags-list\">\n<li class=\"m-tags-list__tag\">\n                <a href=\"\/en\/tag\/iran\/\" class=\"a-hot-tag\" title=\"Iran\">    Iran<\/a>\n            <\/li>\n<li class=\"m-tags-list__tag\">\n                <a href=\"\/en\/tag\/usa\/\" class=\"a-hot-tag\" title=\"USA\">    USA<\/a>\n            <\/li>\n<li class=\"m-tags-list__tag\">\n                <a href=\"\/en\/tag\/middle-east\/\" class=\"a-hot-tag\" title=\"Middle East\">    Middle East<\/a>\n            <\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>    <button class=\"m-box-expand__button a-link\" data-box-expand-button><br \/>\n        <span class=\"m-box-expand__button__open\"><\/p>\n<p>                    <span class=\"a-hover-content\" data-hover-label=\"Read more\">Read more<\/span><br \/>\n                        <\/span><br \/>\n        <span class=\"m-box-expand__button__close\" data-box-expand-button-close>                <\/p>\n<p>                    <span class=\"a-hover-content\" data-hover-label=\"Read less\">Read less<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n    <\/button>\n<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"t-content__below-main\">\n<div data-org-name=\"video-playlist\" data-org-type=\"layout-list\" class=\"o-layout-list  grid-1-2-3\" data-layout-list-wrapper>\n<div class=\"o-layout-list__item\">\n<div class=\"m-item-list-article m-item-list-article--content-visibility m-item-list-article--hor-to-ver\" data-article-list>\n<a class=\"m-item-image m-item-image--16x9\" href=\"\/en\/millions-gather-in-mecca-for-hajj-despite-security-concerns\" data-article-item-link aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.france24.com\/media\/display\/2e77294a-5832-11f1-953f-005056a97e36\/w:720\/p:16x9\/EN-20260525-131413-131545-CS.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s.france24.com\/media\/display\/2e77294a-5832-11f1-953f-005056a97e36\/w:177\/p:16x9\/EN-20260525-131413-131545-CS.jpg 177w,https:\/\/s.france24.com\/media\/display\/2e77294a-5832-11f1-953f-005056a97e36\/w:388\/p:16x9\/EN-20260525-131413-131545-CS.jpg 388w,https:\/\/s.france24.com\/media\/display\/2e77294a-5832-11f1-953f-005056a97e36\/w:480\/p:16x9\/EN-20260525-131413-131545-CS.jpg 480w,https:\/\/s.france24.com\/media\/display\/2e77294a-5832-11f1-953f-005056a97e36\/w:720\/p:16x9\/EN-20260525-131413-131545-CS.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 639px) calc(100vw -
