Historical Background
U.S.–Iran tensions have spanned decades, with the Strait of Hormuz remaining a flashpoint even after the 2015 nuclear deal. The strategic waterway’s volatility has repeatedly threatened global oil shipments, prompting regional actors like Qatar and Oman to engage in back‑channel diplomacy.
